This issue is only about differences that are different without being an improvement.

More people coming from Haskell to PureScript than from JavaScript/TypeScreipt.

• # instead of $

• Different record syntax. In PureScript:

  let user = { name: "John", height: 175 }
  

  In Haskell:

  let user = { name = "John", height = 175 }
  

  Haskell make more sense since assignments can easily pulled out of the record, or moved into the record without changing the syntax:

  let
    user = { name = "John" }
    height = 175
  

• true and false vs. True and False

• Multi-line syntax

  • Does not remove indentation
  • ???
