Do you mean PureScript?

I think it really depends what you're trying to do. There's definitely a class of problems where the impact of a runtime type error would be low. But there are plenty of other case…

> I fail yet to see what advantages PureScript brings compared to Elm. I think they fit different use cases. Elm is excellent at interactive web apps using FRP. PureScript is a lit…

There are a few options, but the most fully-formed is probably purescript-react. I'm also interested to see where the virtual-dom bindings go. The last chapter of the book covers h…

Yes - in fact, that's the approach we encourage for working with immutable arrays: https://github.com/purescript/purescript-arrays

It uses JavaScript's evaluation model - i.e. strict, but you can write lazy code using libraries, such as purescript-lazy.

It has been discussed before: https://github.com/purescript/purescript/issues/396 The reason I have been against the idea so far is that an integer type is easily accomplished usin…

Consider a recursive function like factorial: fact :: Number -> Number fact 0 = 1 fact n = n * fact (n - 1) This will build stack frames and fail with a stack overflow for large in…

(Copied from below) I've written quite a lot of TypeScript, and I generally feel very productive in it, but occasionally I feel like I want more from the type system (type classes,…

I think it's definitely possible to put knowledge of Haskell to use in PureScript, but it's not like Fay, Haste, GHCJS etc. where you can copy code verbatim. I think of PureScript …

"Simple readable JavaScript" as opposed to the sort of output you might expect from compilers for other Haskell-like languages which attempt to preserve Haskell's semantics. Certai…

PureScript developer here. Happy to see this here, and happy to answer any questions.

You couldn't pay me enough to work on some stacks. Also, certain technologies do a good job of convincing potential employees that you know what you're doing and committed to using…

Also why not consider remote employees?
