If you know Haskell, then the remaining bits of PureScript will not take
very long. It's like moving from C++ to Java, or Ruby to Python. Most of
your experience carries over, and you can learn the differences as they
arise. You can likely be productive in PureScript tomorrow.
There's a lot of discussion on PureScript development on the FPChat slack,

In my experience, PureScript has been much nicer to work with than GHCJS or
Elm. PureScript's editor tooling is absolutely fantastic, and the language
has "fixed" a number of warts in Haskell. The record system and interop
with JavaScript are wonderful, as well.

Thanks, but what do you think the learning curve will be on PureScript? How similar to Haskell is it?
I want to balance some factors here. As my initial goal is rapid prototyping and experimentation, I'd like to use a language I already know well, in other words Haskell.
But of course even with a familiar language, I'm going into a quite unfamiliar situation (web programming) and there is a learning curve with that.
It may be that a language other than Haskell, i.e. PureScript, although requiring a learning curve, would be more suited to my app's needs and thus save me grief.
I don't know. Dennis
