Nighthawk looks very nice! However, I found out that for me tui is where it's at for music players. Using cmus combined with a drop down terminal such as tilda or a tiling windows manager is the most comfortable i've been with mus

Definitely! They are really well done and actually worked better for me than videos. Unfortunately they only cover the first half of the course.

I'm using the earlier offering of your course and another[0] to learn about compilers for a while now and it's the only method that really clicked for me. Thank you very much for making this open! [0]: http://www.ccs.ne

Maybe, but Phil (the author of PureScript) stated that he has no desire to compete with Haskell generally and he rather focus on polishing the JS backend. There are already a few backends for PureScript[1] (including python!) but most backe

One of PureScript's main goals is to generate JS that can be read by humans. I'm guessing the author wanted to follow the PureScript spirit when creating purerl.
