For those who may not be familiar with the Haskell ecosystem, Alexis King (lexi-lambda) writes many blogs and libraries related to Haskell. For example, you may be interested in her recent talk on effect systems in Haskell at ZuriHac 2020,[1] based on the eff library she mainly contributes to.[2] [1]: [this video] [2]: [LINK] > he's asking you to read the article more carefully she
