I work on the PureScript (http://purescript.org) compiler, tools, libraries and book in my spare time (along with many other unpaid contributors), because it's the programming language I wished had existed when I started creating it. It's still the closest thing to a perfect environment for web development, at least as far as I'm concerned :)

Another big thank you from me. I used PureScript to learn functional programming. For me, being able to read the resultant Javascript made a big difference.

Also, I have to say that your code is lovely (both the PureScript code and the Javascript). Every time I think, "I wonder how this works/should work" I take a quick glance and within a few minutes I have my answer. I will start reading the compiler code when I get some time.

Thank you for all your work!
PureScript is amazing! Thank you for making it.
