In this repo I provide my own implementation of the IO Monad (supporting some of the cats-effect type classes) and a presentation on this topic.
With my simple implementation I wanted to demonstrate the basic ideas of th IO Monad.
My impl of the IO Monad is just a feasibility study, not production code!
When coding my impl of IO I was very much inspired by cats.effect.IO and monix.eval.Task which I studied at that time. Both are implementions of the IO Monad.
The API of my IO is very similar to the basics of Monix Task. This IO implementation also helped me to understand the IO Monad (of cats-effect) and Monix Task.
Interop with Future is also supported. You can convert IO to a Future. Vice versa you can convert a Future to an IO.
The development of my impl can be followed step by step in the code files in package iomonad.
