No, it's the same thing.  When you write 'pure 1.0', then you're using,
say, Double's Fractional instance directly.  If you write just '1.0',
then you're using Wire's Fractional instance, which is just defined as:

    fromRational = pure . fromRational

So it's the same thing.

Michael Snoyman has reported that Netwire 4 compiled fine using GHCJS.
Give that one a try.
