This Week in Effect - 2024-09-27

Hi Effecters!

Welcome back to This Week In Effect (TWIE) – your weekly update of the latest developments in the Effect community and ecosystem.

Effect is a powerful TypeScript library that helps 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!

Here are all the technical changes from this week.

This past week, we welcomed 20+ new Effecters to our Discord community - we’re very excited to have you all on board!

  • We started unveiling our speakers’ lineup for our upcoming Effect Meetup in San Francisco. Our first speaker is Elliot Dauber, Founding Engineer at Markprompt, who will share his experience about learning Effect while onboarding at a new job and its impact to their developer team.
  • Tim Smart was live on Twitch on Thursday with a new episode of Reimagining ContentLayer with Effect. The video will soon be available on our YouTube.
  • The fifth episode of Effect Cluster - Design Sync Session has already been published on the Effect YouTube Channel.

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.
