[Haskell-cafe] hiring PureScript coder

[Dennis Raddle]

Hi Michael,

Here's my reasoning. Note that I'm not an expert on any of this.

I'm choosing Purescript over Elm (or Reflex) because it has been described
to me as a fuller implementation of functional programming, in particular
Elm lacks type classes.

I'm choosing React because I've been told by several people it's the best
way to create a Javascript application that can be packaged for mobile or
i.e. a self-contained app.

I don't have many more reasons than that.
