JavaScript vs. PureScript vs. STRICH vs. cloverage Comparison Chart

PureScript is a strongly typed, purely functional programming language that compiles JavaScript. It enables developers to build robust web applications, web servers, and mobile apps using functional programming techniques. PureScript offers features such as algebraic data types, pattern matching, row polymorphism, extensible records, higher-kinded types, type classes with functional dependencies, and higher-rank polymorphism. The language emphasizes strong static typing and pure functions, ensuring code reliability and maintainability. Developers can compile PureScript code into readable JavaScript, facilitating seamless integration with existing JavaScript codebases. The ecosystem includes an extensive collection of libraries, excellent tooling, and editor support with instant rebuilds. An active community provides numerous learning resources, including the PureScript book, which offers practical projects for beginners.

Cloverage uses clojure.test by default. If you prefer use midje, pass the --runner :midje flag. (In older versions of Cloverage, you had to wrap your midje tests in clojure.test's deftest. This is no longer necessary.) For using eftest, pass the --runner :eftest flag. Optionally you could configure a runner passing :runner-opts with a map in project settings. Other test libraries may ship with their own support for Cloverage external to this library; see their documentation for details.
