    I vastly prefer Purescript despite it being the road less traveled. Typescript is just a fake-ish type system on top of JavaScript. But Purescript goes MUCH further in the mission of purity and code safety.

      Purescript is like a modern Haskell. Completely different programming paradigm, much less accessible to your average JS developer just wanting to tighten up their code without having to learn category theory

        I’m no white beard, I don’t know much or really any deep category theory (which is, by the way, just some fancy names for stuff we do CONSTANTLY as software engineers), and I use it every single day. Suit yourself, though.
