PureScript

https://github.com/purescript/documentation/blob/master/errors/ScopeConflict.md talks about "id", but that's become "identity".

Action: think of a different illustration.

When trying to compile with spago on a linux env that does not have a /home directory, there is an error message Directory "/home" is not accessible. Is there a setting that would make it possible to use spago in an environment with out /home?

Currently compiling Data.Either.Nested takes about 10 seconds. It emits about 84k lines of code! So we should (a) investigate optimization passes to remove the lines to output and (b) make it run fast even when generating large files like that.

It would be nice to have a library like purescript-nix-builtins that provides FFI for all the different Nix builtins (like builtins.deepSeq, builtins.getEnv, builtins.mapAttrs, etc). This library should also provide FFI data types for types from Nix that are not available from PureScript by default. For instance, a Path type to represent Nix paths.

A couple other points:
