There is a growing ecosystem of frontend and creative computing libraries in Scala. It's a fun way to get into the language, and a good language in which to have fun.
- JD557 4y agoYup. I'm quite hopeful that Scala could become a very nice ecosystem for creative computing, not only due to libraries but also tools that enable a (near) live coding experience like Scala CLI, Polynote and SCRiBBLE. It's not all sunshine and roses, but I think its heading in the right track.
- noelwelsh 4y agoCan't believe you didn't mention Minart! ;-) (https://github.com/JD557/minart https://github.com/JD557/minart) The live coding experience is something where I think a lot more work could be done. This paper by Ravi Chugh et al, and a lot of his other work, points to interesting directions to take: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.13302.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/2301.13302.pdf
