The half-edge data structure, used in computational geometry. I remember when I first discovered it, it drove home the point that choice of data structure can really matter - it made a bunch of problems I'd been working on much easier

PureScript isn't just for business logic at all - it has its own UI libraries, React bindings, DOM API bindings, and so on. It is more often used for front-ends than anything else that I've seen. You only need to use one of spago

Really nice. I tried something like this many years ago in Flash, but the results this can produce are far more impressive!

I don't think it's mentioned anywhere in the poster, but it's also perhaps worth noting that this came out of a survey, it wasn't just dreamed up by one person / a few people. (A tweet thanking survey respondents:

An advantage of using the most general signature possible is it restricts the things you can actually do with the values involved, which can make it easier to provide correct implementations.

There's some work towards that in PureScript: https://github.com/kRITZCREEK/psc-ide provides an interface for multiple editors, seems like Atom, Emacs, Vim and VS are available currently.
