Key Features:

Dependency management using Spago Registry
Project scaffolding and compilation
Integrated test runner
Monorepo support
Native FFI support management

Use Cases:

Initializing and building new PureScript projects
Managing library dependencies for functional web apps
Running unit tests within a CI/CD pipeline

Alternatives:

psc-package – psc-package is an older, simpler package manager, while Spago offers a more comprehensive toolset including build orchestration.
npm – npm manages JavaScript dependencies; Spago manages PureScript source dependencies and orchestrates the PureScript compiler.
