I have. Edit; I haven’t 🤣 didn’t see the .js at the end of that word so some of the following is probably irrelevant, though I’ll leave it because it took me a while to type it out. Haha
I’d probably be more interested in it if I were being forced by my day job to work in the JVM. I happen to be in a situation where I am my own boss working on projects completely alone and the tech I pick comes from months of wasting time making perfect the enemy of good. I know that raises quite a few red flags but I can’t help the way that they made me. Haha 🥴
From what I’ve gathered from Joseph Gordon Bell at the (IMO best software engineering podcast ever) Co-Recursive podcast, Scala sacrifices some of the purity and safety by its dependence on the the Java cargo cult. Partly, this is also a drawback of Purescript for me (since it’s intended to compile to JavaScript) but Purescript is starting to be able to escape that fate. Also, I’m a HUGE fan of Haskell syntax.
From your perspective, what pros and cons do you see if I were comparing Scala to Purescript?
Ps. The one that is actually really making me take notice lately is OCaml for the browser.
