PureScript

This is a platform-native compiler backend for PureScript. It attempts to generate "sane", debuggable, and portable C++11 (or later) or Go code as an intermediate language, which is then compiled to a native executable binary. This also enables easy interoperability with existing C/C++ or Go frameworks and libraries on a number of platforms.

There are two utilities in the purescript-native "suite": pscpp and psgo. The source code in this branch is for pscpp, the purescript-to-C++ transpiler. For the source code of the psgo purescript-to-Go transpiler / build tool, please see the golang branch.

• Although purescript-native should work on any platform supporting PureScript and modern C++ or Go, the generated code and resulting binary executables have been tested on:
  • macOS Mojave 10.14.5 – full test suite
    • For C++, Xcode 10.2.1's clang was used
    • For Go, go version 1.12.7 was used
  • Windows 10 x64 – full test suite
    • C++: Visual Studio 2017 and clang
    • Go: go version 1.12.7
  • Linux Debian 9.5 amd64 – full test suite (C++)
    • Default versions of clang and gcc
  • Linux Debian 10 amd64 – full test suite (Go)
    • Default version of go
  • Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Raspbian official build (ARM), default versions of clang and gcc

• Haskell Stack (if you're running macOS 10.14.5+, you can use pre-built binaries from here)

• A recent version (0.13+) of purescript.

• For pscpp, a C++11-capable toolchain, e.g. recent versions of clang, gcc, Microsoft Visual Studio

  • GNU Make + psc-package is the default supported build tool, but you should be able to use your favorite package manager, C++ build system, tools, debuggers, etc.

• For psgo, the Go toolchain for your system

  • You can use your favorite PureScript package manager and build tools – but for simplicity, spago is recommended.
