How is Purescript these days?
I haven't heard many news from its ecosystem since Phil Freeman stepped down from its active development. Purescript by Example must be quite outdated by now? I know that Alex Kelley is still working on his set of tutorials "Make the Leap from Javascript to Purescript"[0]. Anything else interesting going on?
I feel like there was a lot of excitement about Purescript in around 2015-2016, but then it sort of died out?

- TexInWien 6y agoThere's plenty of interesting activity going on: The Discourse ( https://discourse.purescript.org/ https://discourse.purescript.org/ ) and Slack channels ( https://fpchat-invite.herokuapp.com/ https://fpchat-invite.herokuapp.com/ ) are active (and quite welcoming / helpful). A community fork of "PureScript by Example" is being updated / maintained, here: https://book.purescript.org/ https://book.purescript.org/ Try PureScript is back online after a hiatus: https://try.purescript.org/ https://try.purescript.org/ The compiler is now at version 0.13.8 with reasonably regular updates (and 0.14.0 should be on the way reasonably soon): https://github.com/purescript/purescript/releases https://github.com/purescript/purescript/releases Spago, the new(ish) package manager, is quite nice: https://github.com/purescript/spago https://github.com/purescript/spago The VSCode integration is solid. I'd say the tooling story is pretty good, over all. Work is underway to provide a package registry, since bower is being phased out: https://github.com/purescript/registry https://github.com/purescript/registry Halogen 5 was released recently: https://github.com/purescript-halogen/purescript-halogen https://github.com/purescript-halogen/purescript-halogen
