A while ago I wanted a better JS for a project, so I tried PureScript and liked it, I have a little experience with Haskell and it was easy to understand and more consistent, however when I tried to do UI components I chose halogen and damn it was too complicated, ended going back to ES6 and React.

What was complicated about it? I'm just getting started with it and it seems pretty straightforward after two days. In fact, I'd say it's almost stupidly easy -- one state handler, one change monitor, and one renderer, done. None of the mangling local state/props/component/JSX/global state/flux/redux stuff in React. So many knobs and options and plugins, the React ecosystem strikes me as a zoo comparatively.
