 PureScript is a programming language that aims to address these issues. It features lightweight syntax, which allows us to write very expressive code which is still clear and readable. It uses a rich type system to support powerful abstractions. It also generates fast, understandable code, which is important when interoperating with JavaScript or other languages that compile to JavaScript. All in all, I hope to convince you that PureScript strikes a very practical balance between the theoretical power of purely functional programming and the fast-and-loose programming style of JavaScript.

 ## Types and Type Inference
 
 The debate over statically typed languages versus dynamically typed languages is well-documented. PureScript is a _statically typed_ language, meaning that a correct program can be given a _type_ by the compiler, which indicates its behavior. Conversely, programs that cannot be given a type are _incorrect programs_, and will be rejected by the compiler. In PureScript, unlike in dynamically typed languages, types exist only at _compile-time_ and have no representation at runtime.
