ESLint vs. JavaScript vs. PureScript vs. ZippyStarter Comparison Chart

ESLint is a static code analysis tool for identifying problematic patterns in JavaScript code. It allows developers to configure rules and define custom ones, addressing both code quality and coding style issues. ESLint supports current ECMAScript standards and experimental syntax from future drafts. It can process code using JSX or TypeScript through appropriate plugins or transpilers. The tool is integrated into most text editors and can be part of continuous integration pipelines, enabling automatic problem detection and correction. ESLint is the #1 JavaScript linter by downloads on npm and is used at companies like Microsoft, Airbnb, Netflix, and Facebook. Preprocess code, use custom parsers and write your own rules that work alongside ESLint's built-in rules. Customize ESLint to work exactly the way you need it for your project. Many problems ESLint finds can be automatically fixed. ESLint fixes are syntax-aware so you won't experience errors.

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.
