Description

PureScript is a statically typed functional programming language, very similar to Haskell, mainly targeting JavaScript.

I saw your "Hoogle for your language" blog post from http://neilmitchell.blogspot.co.uk/2011/03/hoogle-for-your-language-ie-f-scala-ml.html recently. Does the offer still stand? I'd like to create some kind of tool to allow type searching across PureScript libraries. I'm happy to do the majority of the legwork. In fact I'm kind of hoping I can extract a Google Summer of Code out of it...!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing Hoogle’s current search architecture and how PureScript libraries expose type information, then clarify the intended scope and integration point. Done would require an agreed design and a working cross-library type search.
