News #27:
Good news! 
I’ve decided to keep the backend written in PureScript and compile it to Go using gopurs itself, rather than rewrite it in Rust. That will also be the highway to maintainability for PureScript devs.
In fact, I’ve underestimated the progress made so far: gopurs can actually compile itself now, and the compiled code is super optimized.
It’s no longer just a promise: it’s already working. I’m compiling the small real-world project I usually talk about, in Go, using a Go binary from gopurs (instead of the usual JS one). We can now leverage its parallelism, speed, etc.
Using gopurs to build itself also gives us a substantial real-world workload. Improvements to code generation, the runtime, and the Go FFI can then benefit both the compiler and other PureScript applications.
Cheers!
