Learn Functional Programming with PureScript

on YouTube ↗01h 40m

" summary

Promises to make a rookie functional programmer in two hours by teaching concrete claims not fluff: PureScript fundamentals (types, product/coprod types, records, newtype, pattern matching), tooling (psci REPL, compiler), and practical techniques (higher‑order functions, typeclasses, effects). The repo already contains starter code and the basics for a text‑based role‑playing game so attendees implement a game‑state transition function; the workshop demonstrates the game pipeline and leaves a working skeleton that compiles to JavaScript.
