[Haskell-cafe] web framework

[Matt]

If you know Haskell, then the remaining bits of PureScript will not take
very long. It's like moving from C++ to Java, or Ruby to Python. Most of
your experience carries over, and you can learn the differences as they
arise. You can likely be productive in PureScript tomorrow.

There's a lot of discussion on PureScript development on the FPChat slack,

In my experience, PureScript has been much nicer to work with than GHCJS or
Elm. PureScript's editor tooling is absolutely fantastic, and the language
has "fixed" a number of warts in Haskell. The record system and interop
with JavaScript are wonderful, as well.
