purescript-native now supports both Go and C++11 as intermediate languages.
The purescript-native “suite” comprises two utilites: pscpp and psgo . The two share transpiler code and a general design but function independently of one another. Foreign implementations are provided by either C++11 for pscpp or Go for psgo ; please see the standard library implementations purescript-native-cpp-ffi and purescript-native-go-ffi for examples. Even if you’re not fluent in C++ or Go, the code should look familiar if you’ve dealt with the javascript FFI (especially the Go versions).
The Go backend has feature parity with the C++11 one but hasn’t been exercised as much. Both pass all of the relevant standard purescript compiler tests .
In terms of transcompilation targets, C++11 has the advantage of platform ubiquity (including things like theArduino Uno) but Go is a simpler language, compiles quickly, has a built-in concurrent garbage collector, and has plenty of “batteries included” (such as reflection, Unicode strings and identifiers, and its own build system).
