This Week in Effect - 2024-07-26

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 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:

Effect Schema 0.69 has been released.

Here are all the technical changes that occurred last week.

In the last week, we welcomed +40 new Effecters to our Discord community - we’re very excited to have you all on board!

Stephen Bluck, a long-time Effect community member, shared one of his projects at YTK, powered by Effect: Glimmers, an NFC-enabled sticker that turns any object into a private photo journal.

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.
