  1. starfx

    A micro-mvc framework for react apps

    `redux-saga` maintainer here.

    I've been using `effection` to build a replacement for `redux-saga` over at https://github.com/neurosnap/starfx

    Effection has demonstrated to me how truly powerful delimited continuations are and why structured concurrency is an incredible asset for anything that requires async flow control -- basically everything in TS/JS.

    I know sometimes it's hard to imagine why someone would need structured concurrency or care about delimited continuations for a front-end application, but this is a game changer in terms of expressing async flow control.

    Some things to note about Effection:

    - API surface area is small https://github.com/thefrontside/effection/issues/851

    - It tries to stay as close to JS constructs as possible so it will feel very familiar

    - Resource cleanup is automatic (when a function passes out of scope all descendent tasks are shut down automatically)

    - End-user doesn't need to think about delimited continuations

    The only leap users need to "deal with" coming from async/await is the syntax.

        import { main, call } from "effection";
