I was talking to @kevinkipp.com today and he introduced me to this super interesting library: effect.website For large, complex backends there are a lot of potential benefits but it does require some fundamental changes to the way you code with TypeScript.

Besides some elegant async and error handling operations, the biggest thing is catching errors at TypeScript compile time that would normally only be caught at runtime. The tradeoff is some extra effort to learn and implement the Effect way of doing things.

Oh hey I learnt about Effects at the local meetup hosted by @kevinkipp.com last month! Reminds me of RxJS a lot :)
