Effect 3.0: Production-Grade TypeScript

A fantastic library but the adoption is hard.

You'll have to go all-in at some point, there's no other way, which poses its dangers. You now rely on the GH repos/changelogs, their discord for support, etc.

Having worked on a FP-TS app, and with Effect-ts on pet projects, I love the paradigm but I can't help but feel I'm always playing catch-up.

Evolu (a local-first platform designed for privacy, ease of use, and no vendor lock-in) has been using Effect for many months, and I'm close to releasing a refactoring that will embrace Effect even more (some modules didn't exist when Evolu switched from fp-ts to the Effect).

Effect is a great library, but it has one probably unresolvable issue. Once you use it, you will never want to write TypeScript code without it.

This is just getting better.

I migrated from fp-ts last September. A learning curve, but Effect appears to be an improvement to Typescript/"standard" way of doing things.

So much that is included out of the box. I am excited about the 3.0 release.

We've been onboard since 2020... Best investment till date, coming off the shoulders of giants before it (fp-ts, ZIO, io-ts/morphic-ts)

We've been using Effect in production since late 2021. Fantastic tool, can't wait for persistent workflows.

This is a major milestone not just for Effect, but for TypeScript as a whole.

can't wait to use it in production for further projects!!!!!! Congrats!!!
