I have a confession to make: while Haskell will always be my first love, PureScript was the one that truly stole my heart. It felt like a “polished” version of Haskell, smoothing out the rough edges and adding gems like row polymorphism that I still miss dearly. It's heartbreaking to see it labeled a “dead” language now, especially with its primary focus being stuck in the JavaScript ecosystem while other backends remain second-class citizens.
I've tried moving on with ReScript, Elm, or Gleam, but they never quite scratched that itch. They are great for what they are, but for someone used to the sheer expressive power of Haskell-like type systems, they feel a bit too “simple.” I find myself missing the depth and the “if it compiles, it works” confidence that only a truly robust type system provides.
Lately, my eyes have been wandering toward Lean and MoonBit. Lean is fascinatingly powerful, though I'm still searching for a more seamless JavaScript/WebAssembly story there. MoonBit also looks incredibly promising—a WebAssembly-first language that seems to aim for a higher level of sophistication than the usual ML-likes. The quest for the perfect, type-safe web language continues.
