How does programming with "effects" actually work? I've read the linked page, and I understand the advantages they're claiming, but I don't see any explanation

  There are lots of informations in "Concurrent Programming with Effect Handlers" (https://github.com/ocamllabs/ocaml-effects-tutorial https://github.com/ocamllabs/ocaml-effects-tutorial) on what it looks like and how it's implemented. There are also more recent informations on the September 2021 edition of the Multicore OCaml newsletter: https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/multicore-ocaml-september-2021-effect-handlers-will-be-in-ocaml-5-0/8554 https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/multicore-ocaml-september-2021-e..., with a link to a paper about effects in OCaml.
