Very nice overview!

[@i-am-the-slime]

PureScript, the best topic for programming languages!

[@spixels6880]

MAN I LOVE PURESCRIPT 💪💪💪

[@spixels6880]

Flame seems great for frontend? I don't really like React, I like more Elm's architecture

[@klarkc]

I remember that when I first met row polymorphism, I was a little intimidated. However, a great aspect of PureScript is that you don't have to dive into row polymorphism immediately, if you find it a bit confusing; you can simply stick with what you know. Over time, you'll grasp how it works, and you'll never want to give up on it again 🤣.

[@xbmarx]

Row polymorphic types are game-changing.
Even when not dealing with web or JSON, they simply allow for looser protocols. You don't drop extraneous data when re-serializing data back; you don't have to update a library because a record suddenly has fields you don't care about, etc.

[@impurepics]

Yeah, agree, I still want to do a separate video on row polymorphic types. I miss them so much sometimes

[@grumpylibrarian]

Yet another thing that I used to not know it existed, and now I just don't know why it exists.

[@digitalspecter]

To give people the possibility to use a good language instead of Javascript/Typescript =) I want a language that helps me write programs that don't crash, has a great type system for modeling solutions and has a lot of headroom for abstractions and code reuse.. so I'm glad Purescript exists :)

[@user-tx4wj7qk4t]

To write pure functional programming anywhere you can write js and also to modernize Haskell by removing legacy constraints

[@i-am-the-slime]

It exists because it's the best programming language. I don't understand why any of the other ones still exist.

[@user-tx4wj7qk4t]

That virtue signaling about "don't join if you're an ass" was cringe. I also assume ass just means doesn't share whatever political and religious beliefs the majority on the discord have right?

[@i-am-the-slime]

Wrong

[@user-tx4wj7qk4t]

@@i-am-the-slime Saying "wrong" is an ass thing to say. Very not-pc and not-wholesome chungus
