Hi all! Thank you for `Effect` feature, really cool how I can type all my effects and play with them...

Hi all! Thank you for Effect feature, really cool how I can type all my effects and play with them purely, one doubt about it: Are we thinking in explore more about Algebraic Effects and bring its concept to this implementation?

Hi @bloder, do you have an example on how you’d like an algebraic effect modeled? My current impression is the existing combinations of interfaces/impl + context receivers is probably already inline with what one would expect from an algebraic effect system.

Hello Raul! Actually my question was with the intention to see if there would be another better approach to it 😅, but I agree with you, I have this same impression. I'm playing a little bit with Effect type if I find another better model I open a discussion or something like that.

You could say suspend + EffectScope<E> is more like MonadError<E> + IO.
In such that you can define effects like so

interface Console {
  sealed interface Error {
     ...
  }
   
  context(EffectScope<Console.Error>)
  suspend fun putStr(msg: String): Unit

  companion object Default : Console {
     ...
  }
}

So yes, 100% this.
