Why Algebraic Effects Replace the Need for Monad Transformers

This article explains how algebraic effects work, why they avoid the boilerplate of monad transformers, and how teams can transition existing codebases.

Decoupling Program Logic with Algebraic Effects and Handlers

Algebraic effects and handlers provide a principled way to decouple program logic from effectful operations, improving modularity and testability.
