    Daniel Stenberg’s curl, Mark Adler’s zlib and perhaps Bram Moolenaar’s vim come to mind, AFAIK those are mostly one man shows. Do you have other perhaps better examples?

      Very close to home since it’s what Lemmy uses: Actix. And we almost lost the head dev at one point, too.

        Such powerful code/tool yet such sad story of its created and maintainer. Couldnt any Foss foundation help them?

          I think there might’ve been some community funding after the story, but I haven’t followed up in a while.

      alsa-lib or crypto++ maybe? Not technically one person, but a majority of it is.

      Maybe a bit pedantic, but I don’t think Vim really applies since it’s not a lib.
