This Week in Effect - 2024-03-08
Hi Effecters!
Welcome back to a This Week In Effect (TWIE), our weekly update that aims to help you keep track of everything that is going on inside our Community and the Effect Ecosystem.
If it’s your first time here, 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!
If you’re new to TWIE, here are a few words on what TWIE is and what it aims for.
We’re happy to see the community growing so fast, with more and more people adopting Effect. At the same time, we understand that it might not be easy keeping up with everything that is going on in the Effect Ecosystem:
- Our Discord server reached 2000+ members a few days ago and the engagement is at an all-time high.
- We just had our very first Effect Days Conference in Vienna on February 23, 2024. It’s been an amazing experience connecting with our community in person. If you couldn’t join us in Vienna, we’ve got plenty of exciting updates and content coming your way, so stay tuned!
- All projects around Effect are receiving key updates and there has been a lot of activity on GitHub!
We want to make it easy for you to find all the info you need to fully enjoy your Effect journey and actively engage with our community!
And, that’s why we created TWIE – a weekly update to inform you about key events about Effect in the previous week, both from the community (Discord discussions, X posts, YouTube content, etc.) and from a technical standpoint.
Now, back to business!
Below you may find the list of all changes that occurred the last week.

Before jumping into the new contents, here’s a special announcement for all our french-speaking users: first ever Effect Paris Meetup will land in April! Thanks to Evryg’s team, Antoine Coulon, and Jean-Baptist Musso for being the promoters of the event.
Let’s kick off with a surprise that will delight many of you who were in Vienna. Here’s a montage of the Conference Day with some insights from some of the protagonists and guests. Plus, a few wonderful moments of post-conference relaxation. For those of you who couldn’t be with us this time, we hope it serves as a good teaser to join us on the next.
An big shoutout to Milad Vafaeifard for creating this video blog in sign language. It was an honor to have you with us, and we will do our best to make future events even more accessible for everyone.
The Effect Days Conference is making waves! On X, interest in Effect has reached an unprecedented peak, with numerous users eager to share their feelings towards Effect.
@EffectTS_ is actually gas. It's dead easy to build concurrent, correct programs. Learning Effect has made me a better programmer, even in places where I don't use it. That's insane.
I literally can't go back to writing TypeScript without @EffectTS_. The thought alone gives me anxiety. I wouldn't drive without seatbelt & airbag either. It would be crazy.
It’s not much about @EffectTS_ It’s about the *problems* that Effect forces you to think about And that’s game changing
We have a gigantic amount of content coming in the next days, so make sure to follow our X account and YouTube channel to stay updated! We’ll never cease to thank all of you for being a part of such an important event for our community and the entire Effect ecosystem.
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 new format. Feel free to share your thoughts, and we’ll do our best to tailor it to the needs of our community.
