IPurescript

This is a jupyter kernel for purescript. It is written as a wrapper kernel based on ipykernel.kernelbase.Kernel.

It was tested on Windows, but should work on POSIX systems with little to no changes.

This project is in very early stage, but I already use it myself for learning purescript, so it might be usable enough for you as well ;)

I don't have time anymore to work on this, feel free to continue it or start from scratch.

Install (for OS Windows)

First install purescript, so that you have pulp command in your shell. Then,

git clone https://github.com/Eoksni/ipurescript
cd ipurescript
jupyter kernelspec install ipurescript

It should give you something like

[InstallKernelSpec] Installed kernelspec ipurescript in C:\ProgramData\jupyter\kernels\ipurescript

Take that path C:\ProgramData\jupyter\kernels (without ipurescript part) and add it to PYTHONPATH environment variable.

Then you can run the jupyter normally

jupyter notebook

or

jupyter console --kernel ipurescript

Important notes

On the first launch, the kernel will create and initialize a purescript project in directory temp at the path where the kernel was installed (ie C:\ProgramData\jupyter\kernels\ipurescript\temp).

This project directory is shared among all kernels instances.

If you need additional purescript dependencies installed, you can do it normally, treating this project directory as usual purescript project.

Features Supported

So far you can only run cells and it will display the output from the purescript REPL. Autocomplete or syntax highligthing or inspect do not work.

Known bugs

• Multi-line input doesn't work
