> I genuinely struggled to follow the concepts in this article
I read the HN comments before I read the OP, which made me worry that the post was going to be some hifalutin type wonkiness. But instead the post is basically completely milquetoast, ordinary and accessible. I'm no type theorist--I cannot tell you what a monad is--and I confess that I don't understand how anyone could be intimidated by this article.

- wasabi991011 8mo agoI don't agree, the article isn't going deep into effects. The intro where they describe effects as essentially being "function colors" (referring to another article fairly often linked in hackernews) plus give lots of concrete examples (async, const, try) seems like more than enough to be obvious to the readers.
