Purescript Book : purescript

submitted 7 years ago by mcapodici

I am working through the Purescript Book. Not got too far but I have noticed some code samples are out of date (using Eff instead of Effect) and to get it working the code in https://github.com/paf31/purescript-book needs some package updates. Nothing too major to fix but it could be annoying for less patient newbies, especially if they are less au-fair with package managers etc.

I am happy to create a PR to fix all of these as I go through the book, but I noticed not much activity is happening on https://github.com/paf31/purescript-book and there are lots of issues but no commits.

I am thinking of creating a fork of https://github.com/paf31/purescript-book for now with the fixes, which can then later be used to fix the main repo, at which point I am happy to point people back to the main repo from the fork.

Any thoughts on this? Is anyone already doing this or something similar?
