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 cases where you want to constrain what you or your use

> 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 little more general purpose and has a few type system featur

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 how you might go about writing a library for working wit

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 using the FFI and user code. Her

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 inputs. We can fix this by using tail recursion

(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, rank-N types, sum types, etc.) and tidier syntax. You

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 as "an environment in which to write principl

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 the best tools available IMO.

by paf31 12y ago
Also why not consider remote employees?
17.
by paf31 12y ago
My approach is to try to attract strong developers by using the best languages and tools. What technology stack do you use?

Very nice. It took me a while to realize that array literals aren't supported, but once I did that I was able to write concatMap and watch it being evaluated. A couple of points: - If there is a syntax error, the box just turns red. It

Presumably this doesn't prevent a developer from creating another "pattern class" subclassing some superclass in another package, thereby breaking existing pattern matches?
