PureScript really hits the sweet spot for me, and it's become my favorite functional language over the last six months. It really feels like a purpose built stripped down Haskell without some modern refinements (string handling, records, compiles to readable JavaScript). You can easily manage dependences to incorporate the absolutely minimum set of packages necessary to run your project, and I think its safety is unparalleled. That said, the community is pretty small (but also really awesome), and it fits into what is starting to feel like a crowded space (ReasonML, Elm, ClojureScript [kind of], TypeScript, etc), but I'm still hopeful that PureScript gets some traction over the next few years and becomes more widely used in the industry, as it is a fantastic language and deserves to be more widely recognized. Also, if anyone is looking to try PureScript with minimal effort, I threw together this guide a while back: https://github.com/tmountain/purescript-reproducible https://github.com/tmountain/purescript-reproducible
