This Week in Effect - 2024-10-04

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!

Recent major updates:

Here are all the technical changes from this week.

  • We’re thrilled to announce the second edition of Effect Days taking place on March 19-21, 2025 at Palazzo Pancaldi in the Tuscan Italian town, Livorno. All event details will be shared soon! Make sure you join our Discord Community to stay updated.

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.
