PureScript is a strongly-typed, purely-functional programming language that transpiles to JavaScript,[2] C++11,[3] Erlang,[4] and Go.[5] It can be used to develop web applications, server side apps, and also desktop applications with use of Electron or via C++11 and Go compilers with suitable libraries. Its syntax is mostly comparable to that of Haskell. In addition, it introduces row polymorphism and extensible records.[6] Also, contrary to Haskell, the PureScript language is defined as having a strict evaluation strategy,[7] although there are non-conforming back-ends which implement a lazy evaluation strategy.[8]
