PureScript Workshop

PureScript is a small, typed, functional programming language which compiles to JavaScript. PureScript requires no runtime by compiling to minimal JavaScript and to provide a simple Foreign Function Interface (FFI) to interact with existing JavaScript. PureScript has seen some commercial adoption and has many libraries available for writing functional web front-ends.

This is a full-day, hands-on workshop on how to build interactive web applications using PureScript. The workshop will teach you to:

1. Write a front-end web application using pure functions.
2. Learn some of the many tools used for writing PureScript applications.
3. Use the FFI to interact with existing JavaScript.
