Hi Effecters!

Welcome back to This Week In Effect (TWIE), a weekly update to keep you in the loop with all the latest developments in the Effect community and ecosystem.

Effect is a powerful TypeScript library designed to help developers create complex, synchronous, and asynchronous programs. One of the key features that sets Effect apart is how it leverages structured concurrency to provide features such as async cancellation and safe resource management, making it easier to build robust, scalable, and efficient programs.

To get started, below you’ll find links to our documentation as well as our guide for installing Effect. Enjoy!

We want to make it easy for you to find everything you need to fully enjoy your Effect journey and actively engage with the community! In this blog post series, you’ll find all the significant developments from the previous week, such as Discord discussions, noteworthy posts, YouTube content, and technical advancements.

  • Sandro Maglione reminded us of one of the main benefits of Effect: fewer packages installed, fewer dependencies to maintain.

Content update

  • The Effect Days conference closing keynote was released on Monday: ‘Effect: The Origin Story’ by Michael Arnaldi. In this talk, Michael reflects on the journey of creating the open-source library, Effect, and the vibrant community that has formed around it. Developed using TypeScript and functional programming concepts, Effect has thrived also thanks to the community’s organic growth and contributions.

That’s all for this week. Thank you for being a vital part of our community. Your feedback is highly valued as we fine-tune this format. Feel free to share your thoughts, and we’ll do our best to tailor it to the needs of our community.
