What Javascript really needs is monads and do-notation. Can I use Haskell on the web yet?

Yeah, it’s called Purescript and it’s quite lovely. Give it a look!

As much as I like PureScript (it's like a cleaned up Haskell!) it has some issues, e.g. with performance (as it uses instanceof a lot).

There is also this minor thing that that the compiler is not written in PureScript.
