I think you meant "algebraic effect", which most mainstream languages don't have: http://kcsrk.info/ocaml/multicore/2015/05/20/effects-multico...
Algebraic data types are a basic feature.

the question I had asked that brought up 'algebraic effects' was: does ReasonML have optimized generator implementation which is an essential high level concurrency primitive. I was told generators and other concurrency primitives can be built on top of algebraic effects.
Btw the ReasonML you're talking about is still just a syntax transform; you're really asking whether OCaml/BuckleScript has these implementations. There's no generators; but I do believe they can be built on top of algebraic effects.
Regarding jargons: you don't have to worry about that =). Though I think what's more crucial is the way the jargons are conveyed, rather than the meanings themselves. I work in the ReactJS community, and there's basically as many jargons (some of which I myself don't quite understand...) as in FP, yet people seem fine with them. We're still not gonna go "monad this monad that" like you feared. Though if the JS community starts picking up terms like monads in the future thanks to Reason, then all the better.
