Comment on Pedagogical Downsides of Haskellparent

Comments

PureScript also has the huge advantage that it's trivial to build "something". When teaching Haskell, I'm never sure what to build as an example. CLI tools aren't attractive, making a webserver is complex, and so is making a native UI. Of course you can use GHCJS, but at that point, why not just teach PureScript in the first place?

Or use gloss and make "something" arguably more easily than in PureScript?
