I seriously love Li Haoyi Scala libraries especially the JSON one.
The hilarious thing is/was that Scala tutorials/books would show writing JSON parser as one examples. Yeah Scala makes it easy to write a JSON parser but you still do not want to roll your own.
Yea, there was a JSON parser in the Scala standard lib at one point and it was then deprecated & removed. Guess it's easy to make a "hello world" JSON lib, but maybe not the best addition to the standard lib, haha.

Case in point Odersky's Programming in Scala.
