Purescript is interesting, I've been trying to build a project in it over the last few months. Since it's still pre 1.0, it has proven difficult but understandably so. It's mostly due to arcane/vague error messages (which they're in the process of dealing with), painfully long compile times, (imo) a few missing features, and incomplete young libraries.
On the flip side, with the state of libraries and all, it's provided me with a real incentive to get involved in open source, by having to contribute patches to said libraries and getting actively involved in general discussion.
Edit:
Just so I don't come off as mostly negative, I do enjoy having purescript as another statically typed option on the client side with close semantics to javascript. It's also been nice having a some kind of parsec like library on the client side (purescript-parsing), which was the main reason I chose purescript for this project in the first place.
