    blang is an open source lightweight high-level object oriented programming language. It's syntax very different from C and Python. Arguments are delimited by spaces, not by a comma. And there is almost no colons/semi-colons/curly brackets/square brackets.

    PureScript was initially designed by Phil Freeman in 2013. He started to work on PureScript since he wasn't satisfied by other attempts to transpile Haskell to JavaScript (e.g. using Fay, Haste, or GHCJS).
