I am thrilled to announce I've officially joined the team @EffectfulTech, creators of @EffectTS_! Excited to continue building cutting-edge and composable technologies that allow developers to create bulletproof end-to-end applications in TypeScript 💪
This Week in Effect - 2024-06-07
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! Here, you’ll find all the significant developments from the previous week, including community activities such as Discord discussions, noteworthy posts, YouTube content, and technical advancements.
