If you’ve ever thought “What if Haskell could run in the browser”, PureScript is for you. It is a strictly typed, purely functional language that compiles to readable JavaScript-and it does so elegantly. PureScript is inspired by Haskell but uses strict evaluation and a powerful type system with support for algebraic data types, higher-kinded types and extensible records.

But it’s not just theory. PureScript has an active ecosystem with tools like Spago (package manager), Pursuit (package documentation) and several UI frameworks such as Halogen and Concur. There is even an interactive online editor where you can try code in the browser-great for exploring the language without installing anything.

So if you enjoy type safety, functional programming and want to write robust JavaScript without sacrificing elegance, PureScript is definitely worth checking out.
