As someone who tried out GHCJS, then Purescript, then Elm, then Clojurescript:
- GHCJS and purescript are powerful, but the learning experience might be steep[1]
- Elm is an excellent entrypoint into ML programming in the browser. Solid story for new users, and a great standard library for interactive web applications.
- ClojureScript differs from Elm in that it embraces its host, with all its power and all its wrinkles. Writing Elm is mostly a smooth experience. Read the guide[2], then you can actually build a web app.
I've spent the most time with Elm. Other people might have different experiences.
[1]: a few years since I tried, might be better now.
