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:
🚀 Introducing the Effect Playground - an interactive coding experience embedded right into Effect's website! Explore the Effect's API, share your code with others & observe the execution of your program using the built-in trace viewer - all without ever leaving your browser!
We’re excited to see what you build, so don’t forget to share your programs with us too! Read the full Effect Playground release post and happy coding!
After the launch of the Effect Playground, we’re thrilled to announce the release of Effect 3.6! 🚀 ▫️ DateTime module ▫️ Stream.asyncPush api ▫️ effect/sql-kysely package and more ⤵️ effect.website/blog/effect-3.6
Here are all the technical changes that occurred last week (note that changes included in the 3.6 release will not be listed).
In the last week, we welcomed +30 new Effecters to our Discord community - we’re very excited to have you all on board!
Simply awesome, on it for a couple minutes and already massively productive with learning @EffectTS_ 🙏🏾
Had so much fun today using the new @glideapps bulk API, @EffectTS_, and @ValTownHQ to sync all of Glide’s issues and PRs into an app.
We had two new streams from the Effect team:
Will be live soon for our weekly sync on Effect Cluster with @MattiaManzati and @imax153 at twitch.tv/mikearnaldi
Streaming our re-imagining of Contentlayer with @tim_smart today! twitch.tv/maxwellbrown19…
Both streams will be available soon on the Effect YouTube Channel. In the meantime, here’s episode #2 of the Reimagining Contentlayer series:
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.
