what are the differences between Haskell and PureScript?

Question

PureScript looks very similar to Haskell. It seems to me that large parts, mostly the pure parts, of a PureScript program should be compilable as well by a Haskell compiler. Is that right?

This leads to a related questions: Would it be possible to share code between a Haskell server backend and a PureScript frontend, e.g. data structures, form validations?

Answer 1

This is still a work in progress, but here are some of the differences for a start. We should have a new site soon that will make this kind of information easier to find!
