I was looking to try PureScript but the lack of support for ES6 modules still halt me from invest time in that language (see https://github.com/purescript/purescript/issues/3613)

That's right, though that feature is very high on the priority list, so it's probably going to be supported fairly soon.

Yes, out of all alternatives I looked at, I did choose PureScript because of the (relatively) easy JS interop (which Elm lacks), not needing the JVM and having types (Clojurescript) and the better async handling without the need of `then`s and the function 'pyramids' and, last, but not least, the lack of (C-) JS-Style syntax.

Thanks for your comment! I am aware of PureScript and even tried it a little bit 3-4 years ago, but was not aware that it has good interops too!

Yeah I also noticed Purescript was missing from your comparisons list. It's the only one of these that I've looked at much, and it seemed like the best of them, though I wasn't aware of the issue with ES6 modules. I don't use JS at all for now, so I haven't been up to date about anything in it.
