		waldohatesyou on Aug 21, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: An Absolute Beginner's Guide to Node.js Have you tried livescript(http://livescript.net/) or clojurescript(https://github.com/emezeske/clojurescript)? I know that they don't have all of Haskell's features but they do bring Javascript a little bit closer to languages like Haskell.

I do not particularly care about having a pretty syntax, what I want is the high assurance that the program will not be wrong.

Have you tried using haste or fay? (I haven't, just curious)
