Pure is a modern-style functional programming language based on term rewriting. It offers equational definitions with pattern matching, full symbolic rewriting capabilities, dynamic typing, eager and lazy evaluation, lexical closures, built-in list and matrix support and an easy-to-use C interface. The interpreter uses LLVM as a backend to JIT-compile Pure programs to fast native code.

For instance, here is a famous equation which you hopefully remember from high school algebra: (x+y)^2 = x2+2*x*y+y2; Again, you can just paste this line into the interpreter, and lo and behold, it just works in Pure:
Now this might seem like an arcane feature, but many if not most real-world programming tasks involve a substantial amount of symbolic computations these days, and as a term rewriting language, Pure makes those easy. E.g., check the units.pure script in the sources for a practical example. (More examples from the sources can be found on the Examples wiki page.)
But considering other FPLs like Haskell and ML, Pure's library support isn't bad
Clicking that link reveals a list of about 34 libraries. In comparison, Haskell's current curatedStackage snapshot has 3340 packages in it (the total number of packages is probably more than 10x that). So, I think it is odd to claim its ecosystem is anywhere near Haskell's.
