Not meaning to hijack the thread, but I would be interested in opinions on the "best" type system implementation that has enough of a library ecosystem to be suitable for web/app development.

To be clear it's also for learning, but I'm wondering what else is there outside of the Haskell/PureScript etc. world.

Haskell is perfectly suitable for web dev, and has a great ecosystem for it.

Servant[1] allows you to create type-safe APIs, and there are many libraries that allow you to define your HTML in a type-safe way.

The Haskell wiki lists some other frameworks: https://wiki.haskell.org/Web/Frameworks
