Freeing Free Monads with Free ADTs
So I find that free monads allow for better testability and easier swapping of implementations in certain situations. That said, we also have services at Meeshkan that are so tightly coupled to the Aff monad that making a free monad just takes too much time, so we just roll with Aff and write a good end-to-end test.

Freeing Free Monads with Free ADTs
There are many great articles on why Free Monads are the bee's knees, notably by Gabriel Gonzalez here and here. At the end of this article, I'll give a couple of reasons that I like to use them. But here, I'd like to talk about why they are super annoying - you have to write all those functions! And even worse, you have to do it twice! Once to make the free monad, and once to transform it into the execution monad (ie Aff or IO or Identity or whatever). That's what purescript-freer-free fixes.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing purescript-aff and purescript-freer-free you can also consider the following projects:
