Questions tagged [purescript]

PureScript is a small strongly, statically typed programming language with expressive types, written in and inspired by haskell, and compiling to javascript.

PureScript has a number of interesting features, such as:

• Type Inference
• Higher Kinded Polymorphism
• Support for basic Javascript types
• Extensible records
• Extensible effects
• Optimizer rules for generation of efficient Javascript
• Pattern matching
• Simple FFI
• Modules
• Rank N Types
• Do Notation
• Tail-call elimination
• Type Classes

Sample "Hello word" :

import Control.Monad.Eff.Console

main = do
    log "Hello, PureScript"

Would be compiled into:

var Control_Monad_Eff_Console = require("Control.Monad.Eff.Console");
var main = Control_Monad_Eff_Console.log("Hello sailor!");
module.exports = {
    main: main
};
