PureScript: History, Features & Overview

PureScript is a strongly typed, purely functional programming language that transpiles to JavaScript and, with alternate backends, to C++11, Erlang, and Go. It can be used to develop web applications, server side apps, and also desktop applications with use of Electron or via C++11 and Go compilers with suitable libraries. Its syntax is mostly comparable…

How PureScript connects Entity context

The extracted context around PureScript shows recurring relationship patterns in the source. For example, PureScript → Fay, Further, GHCJS, GitHub, Haskell, Haste, He, JavaScript, Phil Freeman, Pulp, Pursuit, Since, Spago Another extracted example is PureScript → FFI, GADT, Go, Haskell, Its, JavaScript, The PureScript, Through. Use these groups to spot repeated connection types before inspecting the individual relationships.
