Ask HN: Elm, PureScript, or ReasonML for a FP course?

Beginning this March, I'll lead a new high-school functional programming course, consisting mostly of writing simple 2D games. I can't decide which of these three languages would be best suited for it. Does anybody have experience with any of them? What did you like? What did you not? What should I use? The students are a bunch of talented high-schoolers, however they only picked up programming this September. That means good tooling and a friendly compiler are paramount, because they'll often be leaning on both. I don't have experience with any of the languages, but I write Haskell and Typescript for living, so I should be able pick these up rather quickly. Because I know Haskell so well, I lean towards PureScript, but I don't want to base my decision only on this.
