I'm a huge fan of this guy's work. His code is really easy to read, and I learn a lot every time I dig in. I think that Lezer [0] is underappreciated considering how flexible and performant it is.
Edit: I just realized I didn't even mention his most famous work, Eloquent JavaScript [1]! This book is incredible. I couldn't finish it the first time, so I'm not sure if it's the best book for beginners, but I learned so much when I picked it back up a few years later that I think that every JavaScript programmer should read through it and do the exercises at least once.

CodeMirror is great, but still requires a lot of clientside JavaScript. I wonder if it would be possible to create a code editor in the same style OverType[0], where the editor is basically just an HTML textarea. You would need 70% less JavaScript code to do exactly the same thing, and it supports syntax highlighting out of the box[1].

Found out about CodeMirror recently and I was marveled at what it could do. Huge props to Marijn.
