Agree with everything you said, compile times and perf and tooling in PS is not great. I guess I just value safety and expressiveness more than the other things. For some reason, I really do not care about slow compile time; it just doesn't bug me, but I admit it is slow. I think GHC conditioned me to just roll with obscure error messages, haha - learning some rust and the detail put into error messages honestly surprised me (of course the type system is not as flexible in many ways too, though, so of course the errors will be more concrete).
- thinkpad20 8y agoI normally wouldn't value those things as highly but I find that compiler speed and tooling makes a huge difference to me for front-end dev specifically, because I'm constantly doing the code->compile->use cycle, and a slow compiler is a pain there. But I'd happily use PureScript again, and am still considering returning to it for this project at some point.
