  • WasmFX: Effect Handlers for WebAssembly

    I first heard of algebraic effects in a presentation about Unison recorded at Strangeloop. Realizing that exceptions, async, generators, and continuations could all be unified and implemented on top of one language feature was mind expanding.

    It looks like the juicy details are in the Explainer:

  • Fiber in C++: Understanding the Basics

    "Fibers", "green threads", "stack switching", "cooperative multitasking" are essentially all the same thing, they all rely on being able to switch to a different stack within the same OS thread. As such they can be implemented either in user space or by the OS.

    Only downside of the technique is that it cannot be implemented in WASM, because WASM has separate data- and call-stacks and the call stack is not accessible from within the WASM virtual machine (while 'async-await' which relies on code transformation can be implemeneted in WASM just fine).

    There is a 'stack-switching proposal' for WASM though, but I don't know how what's the state of that:
