PureScript
A curated list of delightful libraries, tools, and resources for the PureScript programming language.
What is PureScript?
Awesome PureScript is a curated directory of libraries, tools, and resources for the PureScript programming language. It helps developers discover high-quality packages, learning materials, and community resources to build applications with this strongly-typed functional language. The list is maintained by the community and organized by categories like UI libraries, build tooling, and testing frameworks.
PureScript developers, functional programming enthusiasts, and developers transitioning from languages like Haskell who need a reliable resource for discovering ecosystem tools and libraries.
It saves time by providing a vetted, organized collection of PureScript resources, reducing the friction of searching through scattered documentation. As a community-maintained list, it ensures quality and relevance, making it the go-to directory for the PureScript ecosystem.
Overview
A curation of awesome PureScript libraries, resources and shiny things.
Use Cases
Best For
- Finding recommended UI libraries like Halogen or Thermite for PureScript web apps
- Discovering build tools and package managers like Spago or Pulp
- Learning PureScript through curated books, videos, and guides
- Exploring testing frameworks and benchmarking tools for PureScript projects
- Connecting with the PureScript community via forums, chats, and subreddits
- Browsing serialization libraries for JSON or binary data handling
Not Ideal For
- Teams seeking pre-configured, full-stack PureScript application templates, as this list only points to individual libraries without integrated solutions
- Developers needing real-time package recommendations or dependency analysis, since the list is manually curated and static without automation
- Projects that require commercial support or guaranteed maintenance for listed resources, as awesome-purescript does not vet for commercial viability or long-term upkeep
Pros & Cons
Pros
The list is carefully selected to include high-quality resources, as highlighted in the 'Curated Collection' feature, ensuring developers avoid low-quality or outdated tools.
It spans essential categories like UI libraries (e.g., Halogen, Thermite), build tooling (e.g., Spago, Pulp), and testing frameworks, providing a comprehensive overview of the PureScript landscape.
Open to contributions and maintained by the community, as noted in the README, which helps keep the list relevant and expanding with new resources over time.
Includes curated learning materials like 'PureScript by Example' books and video tutorials, making it a valuable starting point for both newcomers and experienced developers.
Cons
Updates rely on community contributions, so the list may not always include the latest libraries or reflect recent breaking changes in the ecosystem, requiring users to cross-check.
It lists resources but doesn't provide comparative insights, performance benchmarks, or user reviews, forcing developers to conduct additional research for informed decisions.
The README doesn't indicate compatibility with specific PureScript versions or library release cycles, which can lead to integration issues in projects.
