Functional programming is a powerful and elegant approach to tackling complex problems while creating maintainable code. Even though it…
PureScript
PureScript is a strongly-typed, functional programming language designed to facilitate the creation of bug-free code, particularly in front-end and back-end web development. It’s an open-source language that compiles to JavaScript and runs on any platform where JavaScript can run. PureScript is built around algebraic data types, pattern matching, and higher-order functions, making it a great language for building complex, data-intensive applications that require robust type-checking.
This section will discuss some historical context around PureScript, its main advantages, and disadvantages over other non-functional languages, architecture, installation & configuration, syntax, data types & structures, main IDEs used for programming in PureScript, a variety of hands-on examples, and more.
