  • UnliftIO, ExceptT and Coercible

    FWIW, your suggestion is very similar to a proposed instance for MonadUnliftIO (ExceptT e), except that effectfuls use of the type system means that it doesn't suffer from one of the proposed downsides (dubious interaction with catchAny).

  • Try.do is dangerous

    That's not true. It's just writing that instance is a bit tricky: https://github.com/fpco/unliftio/issues/68
  • Try.do for recoverable errors in Haskell

    However, ExceptT cannot be an instance of MonadUnliftIO – because it necessarily requires multiple exit points. See this discussion which should give you an idea of how hairy and unpredictable this can be.
