PureScript workshop

Submitted Aug 25, 2019

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

Outline

Full-day hands-on workshop on how to build interactive web applications using PureScript.

  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.
