Is this library/ecosystem the most sane approach to Effect and FP these days?
Let me start saying that I've been programming for a long time and I've used all sorts of programming languages. Lately I've been more interested in FP languages. My issue with FP languages is that they're almost exclusively academic, which is not bad by definition, but it becomes a problem in practice when the sole purpose of the language is to be a place where PHD students to write papers instead to get funding instead of solving actual problems, yes, I'm looking at you Scala and Haskell. Maybe the most pratical FP languages are Erlang, Elixir, and Clojure, which are all dynamic, which is a bad thing for me, and are very, very niche.
I'm in the process of writing a web app. I did an inicial draft version in Go and Rust. I love Go because of it's simplicity, but it's so damn simple that everything starts to fall apart really quickly. Rust is quite the oposite, it's just too verbose and too much handling of thing that I really don't care when doing an web app. I'm trying to understand if Typescript/Effect is this middle ground.
