I had some confusion when following the install/build instructions. I think these changes might improve them. Let me know what you think. https://github.com/haskell/haskell-ide-engine/issues/1731

The ["Functional Dependencies"](https://github.com/purescript/documentation/blob/master/language/Type-Classes.md#functional-dependencies) section in Type Classes doesn't have any content, so we need an issue to improve visibility of this missing content.

I recently have become interested in the history of the "type class" concept. Wadler has a [type classes page](http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/topics/type-classes.html) on his website which lists all the major type class-related papers...

I had to look into PureScript source code and test cases to learn how to input Unicode characters by code points like this. At the same time, it might also...

It looks like the [language/Syntax #comments](https://github.com/purescript/documentation/blob/master/language/Syntax.md#comments) doc page doesn't mention the syntax of the documentation string itself. The PureScript compiler's source code references a "cheapskate" library, which is likely [jgm/cheapskate](https://github.com/jgm/cheapskate)....

https://github.com/purescript/documentation/blob/master/language/Syntax.md#do-notation The "do notation" documentation doesn't mention that pattern-matching the bound value is possible, but it should.

It sounds like type class constraints might not affect instance selection. We should confirm that claim and add to the "language/Type-Classes.md" document. Claimed here: https://purescript-users.ml/t/type-class-that-has-a-monoid-instance-seems-to-require-all-instances-to-also-be-monoids/101/8 I'm also curious about this...

^ if I'm understanding the request correctly. I'm unsure how it would look like, but @kRITZCREEK mentioned how nice Rust's libraries are because it's easy to get runnable code samples...

The PS compiler produces an error message named "InvalidAnonymousArgument" when incorrectly using operator section syntax. When reviewing the PR to add docs for this error message, https://github.com/purescript/documentation/pull/144, I had to...

Before moving to a tool, we should list the advantages we would gain by moving to such a system. Using a GitHub repo for docs, as we are now, is...
