The practical guide I wish existed while learning Effect

This guide explores some concepts from Effect. It's designed to give you a feel for the library as fast as possible.

It's written from my point of view of a casual fp-ts user (i.e.: I use Option and Either but I feel stupid as soon ad Applicative, Functor, Monad, etc are mentioned).

Effect has a website now

This guide was written before Effect has a website or any documentation by poking at the Effect source code, ZIO docs

Now the website has a very comprehensive documentation. I'm leaving this here to benefit people with shorter attention spans.

Usage

Start reading from 001-basic.ts!

Local environment

1. Install the packages in package.json with the package manager of your choice. (e.g. npm install)
2. Any file in this project can be run with the run-file script in package.json (e.g. npm run run-file 001-basic.ts or npm run-file 001-basic.ts). You may also use tsx directly (npx tsx 001-basic.ts).

Web-based environment
