A PureScript framework for writing scalable, performant apps with mathematical precision using functional programming.
Presto is a PureScript framework that allows developers to write applications with the simplicity and precision of mathematical equations. It leverages functional programming and category theory to create scalable, performant code with elegant abstractions, simplifying the app development process.
Developers building scalable mobile or web applications, particularly those interested in functional programming, PureScript, or creating payment and transaction-based apps.
Developers choose Presto for its ability to turn complex app logic into clean, mathematical-like flows, ensuring reliability and scalability through functional programming principles, as demonstrated in production apps like BHIM and JuspaySafe.
Write Apps like Mathematical Equations!
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Enables writing complex app logic as clean, declarative flows similar to equations, as shown in the billPayFlow code snippet from the README.
Leverages PureScript's functional programming and category theory for robust, scalable code, proven by production apps like BHIM with 17 million users.
Includes practical examples like a mobile recharge app and lists apps in production such as JuspaySafe, demonstrating framework maturity and applicability.
Aims to transform intricate business processes into intuitive flows, reducing boilerplate and errors, as per the project's philosophy.
Requires familiarity with PureScript and functional programming concepts, which can be a barrier for developers used to imperative languages.
Setup involves Bower, which is largely deprecated, and specific build processes that may not align with modern JavaScript tooling, as seen in the quickstart instructions.
PureScript has a smaller ecosystem than mainstream languages, leading to fewer resources and slower issue resolution, despite community forums and Gitter channels.
