purescript v0.7.6 Release Notes

Release Date: 2015-11-18 // over 8 years ago

  • 🚀 Thanks once again to everyone involved in this release!

    🚀 This release includes some updates to generic deriving which require updating to the latest version of purescript-generics.

    🔋 Features

    • Field puns, fix #921 (@balajirrao)

    It is now possble to construct objects by using values in scope with the same name as the field labels. For example, the expression { foo, bar } is equivalent to { foo: foo, bar: bar }. Patterns desugar in the same way.
