Any good resources on extensible effects? I'm currently reading: http://okmij.org/ftp/Haskell/extensible/index.html http://okmij.org/ftp/Haskell/extensible/index.html I also know of: http://jozefg.bitbucket.org/posts/2014-07-15-reading-extensible-effects.html http://jozefg.bitbucket.org/posts/2014-07-15-reading-extensi... However I was wondering if there was a "Gentle introduction to extensible effects". Edit: I found this presentation: http://ro-che.info/docs/2014-06-14-extensible-effects.html#1.0 http://ro-che.info/docs/2014-06-14-extensible-effects.html#1...

It's worth looking at the Eff language, which is an OCaml variant. Much easier to understand, especially if you're monadically challenged. This paper is a great introduction to the idea of algebraic effects: http://math.andrej.com/2012/03/08/programming-with-algebraic-effects-and-handlers/ http://math.andrej.com/2012/03/08/programming-with-algebraic... Shameless plug, I gave a talk about this at the NYC "Papers We Love" meetup.

  I read the Eff paper, and I was blown away. I find monad transformers to be extremely clunky in comparison. The mental tax of Eff seems a lot smaller.
