#purescript

These sort of umbrella resources help create a sense of cohesiveness in the community, making it more welcoming to newcomers. #Haskell is more popular, but it could still learn from how much #PureScript's community efforts have achieved in the past 2-3 years.

@haskman I don’t get it… For packages we have Hackage (and Flora.pm). For short links(?). Why have a centralized repo of that?

@dpwiz @haskman I think it's like #stackage?

@jonn @dpwiz No, it's just a vanity url service for PureScript community resources. Not just for libraries, and not at all like stackage.

@haskman @jonn I see a problem with well-known vanity urls. Besides obvious squatting, there are incentives to centralize. And with enough notoriety it gets “either you leave a mark there, or you don’t exist”. One more chore for project owners.

@dpwiz @haskman as I said, this is stackage. (See haskman's argument about curation). If you squat, you get kicked.

But yeah, #haskell needed #stackage because of #cabalHell, whereas #purescript has both #nix integration and #dhall / #spago combo wombo, which is a less known "nix for language ecosystems".

But if this website (which I didn't understand beyond "I am certain I don't need this") provides `go get`-like experience, then it will be very good for beginners.
