During the 2016-2017 New Year I did an intense look into Purescript. I bought the LeanPub book and did all kinds of stuff with it. More recently I did a look into ReasonML. I bought the Pragprog book and worked through that. For me, it came down to Haskell vs OCaml. I'll admit, I have a serious love for OCaml/F#, so I immediately was excited about ReasonML. Many concepts just transferred very easily. Purescript felt very academic once I got into trying to build real things. Watching Phil Freeman's talks/Google Hangouts on building cool new projects really was eye-opening. That guy thinks on an entirely new level... who knows, maybe most Haskellers do? I have a sincere appreciation for Haskell, but I have yet to bend my mind around it, so Purescript left me in the same place - I felt like I wasn't really grokking it. I should stress that this is ME, so you may have an entirely different experience. I'm not saying that Purescript was bad at all.... it just wasn't clicking very well.
