How is Effect, for those who have used it? It's good that algebraic effects are becoming more mainstream.

by satvikpendem

I love both effect and elm, but I cannot swallow yet another Vue/React crap even if it adds effect niceties.

Especially after having used ruby and elixir extensively after years of react/Vue, it feels so backwards (and LLM unfriendly) to split front and backend unless you have gargantuan reactivity needs (you don't).

I wish JS offered just one proper server side focused frontend solution.

Oh wow, a new frontend framework! Has nature finally begun healing or something?

This feels a lot like sagas and redux sagas. Anyone else got that vibe?

The project seems super interesting and I've been following since the creator went on an effect podcast I listened to. My only gripe/concern is the fact that the docs are so glaringly AI (likely claude) generated which is something I've come to not expect from technical documentation writing specifically. All in all though, the verbosity tradeoff for explicit design choice here is the right one and I think it does better than elm by remaining in javascript land rather than building a nicer abstraction layer on top that often needs to reach in to do interesting things with the web apis.

I don't know, as far as I can tell the demo on the homepage is bugged? Or maybe I misunderstand how it's supposed to work? If I click reset after 2 seconds and then click add 1 right after it, the reset never fires. What's up with that, that's not what I expected to happen?

    Styling is all gross, sorry.

  • WebContainers have been available in Safari and Firefox for years. Why does it say I need Chrome?

    https://webcontainers.io/guides/browser-support

    Is this using a different WebContainers?
