⚡️ Leverage Go superpowers with PureScript! Native speed w/ absolute type safety
When you combine the absolute safety and elegance of a purely functional language with the raw execution speed of a modern low-level language, it's like discovering that space and time are inextricably linked: a whole new dimension opens up to you. In my previous article , I introduced phpurs , a compiler backend that brings the absolute mathematical safety of PureScript to the 70% of the web…
PureScript and Go combine forces to deliver lightning-fast performance with top-tier type safety. By leveraging PureScript's functional elegance and Go's raw execution speed, developers can achieve a whole new level of efficiency and safety. The gopurs project, a PureScript-to-Go compiler, boasts a remarkable result - matching Chez Scheme's benchmark performance.
This is made possible by preserving deep type information via Typed Abstract Syntax Trees (TAST) and mapping PureScript's asynchronous effects (Aff monad) to native Go goroutines. FFI (Foreign Function Interface) is also made painless through a Go AST parser compiled to WebAssembly. The result is a mesomorphic approach that combines the safety of PureScript with the speed of Go, enabling developers to write high-level abstractions while still benefiting from the low-level performance of Go.
