Things that people wanted documenting:

  • Newtype -- Difference between keyword and type class. -- Removed runAdditive in v0.10, moved to wrap from Newtype class. Why have run* in first place?

  • Functional Dependencies -- What type-checking errors does it resolve? -- When should I use functional dependency in my type class?

  • Typed-holes and type wildcards -- Names are similar, needs clarification.

  • Compile Iteration Techniques -- Hole-driven development with typed-holes. -- Faculties of editor plugins. Using pscid as editor-independent alternative. -- Iterating module while testing in psci.

  • Generics -- How to use generics to encodeJson from argonaut? -- Old generics (purescript-generics) vs new generics (purescript-generics-rep, enabled by fun-deps)

Note that some of those are answered in The PureScript 0.10 release video on youtube (link).

Thanks for the reminder! I think we should aim to have that information somewhere in this repository too.

Still need to translate to text, though.

Definitely! But it can help anyone who is interested in writing docs about it :)
