Hogan.js vs PureScript: What are the differences?
Developers describe Hogan.js as "A compiler for the Mustache templating language". Hogan.js is a 3.4k JS templating engine developed at Twitter. Use it as a part of your asset packager to compile templates ahead of time or include it in your browser to handle dynamic templates. On the other hand, PureScript is detailed as "A strongly-typed language that compiles to Javascript". A small strongly typed programming language with expressive types that compiles to JavaScript, written in and inspired by Haskell.
Hogan.js and PureScript can be primarily classified as "Templating Languages & Extensions" tools.
Hogan.js and PureScript are both open source tools. It seems that PureScript with 5.86K GitHub stars and 427 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Hogan.js with 5K GitHub stars and 438 GitHub forks.
