Maybe that's not the dominant mindset anymore, but I for one would love to use a language that's actually built for functional/reactive programming instead of inventing half-baked JavaScript dialects for that purpose. Elm was a language in that spirit, but it never felt complete.

You can probably build something in PureScript.
Makes me sad that PureScript doesn't have more adoption, not that I'm surprised. It's orders of magnitude better than Elm and even improves upon Haskell in some meaningful ways (row polymorphism).
Gone are the days it used to show up routinely in sites like HN, another proof how the language adoption cycles go.
