plus its semantics lie pretty close to javascript. Most importantly because it's strict instead of lazy. Eventhough its strict it has a very haskelly feel. Both in syntax and type system. Also I think strict semantics is the way to go for efficient Functional Reactive Programming.
Furthermore, Purescript's FFI is really nice to use and it's really easy to bind to existing javascript libraries.
PureScript is community is nice and active. They are also discussing a lot with the `virtual-dom` guys to bring react/om/mercury-like functionality to purescript [0] and it's quite freakin awesome.
Seriously I'd take purescript for javascript any day. I think it's great that we FP folks can finally do frontend dev :-)
