ELEVEN LITTLE LIFE-ENHANCING LIBRARIES
summary
Eleven Propensive microlibraries each solve one concrete problem: compile-time checked interpolators for emails and CSS, CSV parsing/serializing (Caesura), runtime-accessible annotations, regex pattern-matching that extracts groups (Kaleidoscope), on-demand monad typeclass generation (Mercator), digest helpers (Gastronomy), HTML that enforces nesting at compile time (Honeycomb), safe quoted process execution with compile-time syntax errors (Guillotine), a tiny Google Datastore ORM (Mutatis), ergonomic lenses (Optometry) and composable async/workflow graphs (Pyroclastic). They total tiny codebases, are used in Fury (≈5k LOC) and aim for compile-time validation and micro libraries under 500 LOC.
