PureScript & Pux -- a safer, more expressive way to React
summary
PureScript compiles to JavaScript with no runtime, uses effect types to encode DOM, AJAX, time and randomness in function signatures, and supports newtype and algebraic data types so the compiler forces exhaustive handling; Pux is an Elm-like, Pux wrapper for React that compiles views to VDOM, exposes a start function that renders into the DOM, and lets components be exported to plain React via foreign import interop — used in small production pieces like autocomplete and analytics.
