A few months ago, I spent a few evenings trying both Elm and Purescript. Elm was easier to get started with, but felt much more cramped and difficult to scale up to large programs. Purescript was more complicated to figure out (I had to read about F-algebras to understand Halogen's UI query algebras), but it's substantially more powerful and flexible. It's very similar to Haskell, with the addition of built-in record types.
