PureScript is a strongly typed, purely functional programming language that compiles to JavaScript, designed by Phil Freeman and first released in 2013. It has been described as similar to a lightweight Haskell, adapted for use as a front-end and back-end web programming language rather than for systems or application development, with an emphasis on strong static typing, extensible records, and type-safe generation of JavaScript.
