Description

spago is being rewritten in PureScript so it can reuse the code provided by the upcoming Registry. I was wondering if this infrastructure should follow suit.

More people might contribute because it's written in the language they're using as opposed to Haskell, which tends to have a higher setup curve simply because of the tooling and language extensions.

However, I'm not sure what other advantages and disadvantages there might be. This code does work, but the large list of issues shows that some TLC would be nice.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Haskell implementation and the referenced Spago rewrite and upcoming Registry context. The issue names no files or tests; completion would require defining the scope, trade-offs, and feasibility of a PureScript port before implementation begins.
