Where's more discussion of the designs of effect systems?
4 projects | /r/ProgrammingLanguages | 17 Nov 2021

Languages such as Koka only support algebraic effects, not scoping operations such as catch and listen. The Effect Handlers in Scope paper introduces scoping operations, which lead to the Haskell libraries fused-effects and polysemy, but they turned out to have some weird semantics. eff is her effort to fix that.
