There's plenty of interesting activity going on:

The Discourse ( https://discourse.purescript.org/ ) and Slack channels ( https://fpchat-invite.herokuapp.com/ ) are active (and quite welcoming / helpful).

A community fork of "PureScript by Example" is being updated / maintained, here: https://book.purescript.org/

Try PureScript is back online after a hiatus: https://try.purescript.org/

The compiler is now at version 0.13.8 with reasonably regular updates (and 0.14.0 should be on the way reasonably soon): https://github.com/purescript/purescript/releases

Spago, the new(ish) package manager, is quite nice: https://github.com/purescript/spago

The VSCode integration is solid. I'd say the tooling story is pretty good, over all.

Work is underway to provide a package registry, since bower is being phased out: https://github.com/purescript/registry

Halogen 5 was released recently: https://github.com/purescript-halogen/purescript-halogen
