Purescript (Maybe this time we get Javascript right)

on YouTube ↗49m

" summary

PureScript compiles to concise JavaScript and the presenter shows the actual output and runtime glue, not just promises. The demo builds a tiny game with a main loop, signals for frame ticks, gravity and jump logic, and a working render path. Property testing appears with QuickCheck property-testing of Semigroup/Monoid laws and arbitrary instances, uncovering edge cases via many random trials. Also covered are extensible Effect/IO and PureScript compiles to concise JavaScript so tools and failures are concrete.
