CodeSync · February 18, 2025, 2:00pm

This talk was recorded at Lambda Days in June 2024. If you’re curious about our upcoming event, check https://lambdadays.org

Enter Effect, a comprehensive framework rising from the fragmented landscape of functional utilities for TypeScript. Born from inspiration drawn from leading libraries like fp-ts and Scala’s ZIO, Effect is here to redefine your TypeScript development experience.

This talk explores the Effect’s core functionality, such as its fiber-based concurrency model, its safe resource management even in the face of program failures, and its built-in tracing capabilities for easy debugging and monitoring, all with a focus on type inference and type safety.

With Effect, we can finally unlock the true potential of TypeScript development, making it a compelling choice for writing functional-oriented applications.
