It’s time to talk again about Functional Programming (or maybe not?!) with today’s episode! I’m glad to have on stage Michael Arnaldi, author and maintainer of Effect.

Effect is a Functional Programming library for TypeScript, that offers primitives to support error management, concurrency and much more. But Effect is also an entire ecosystem of integrations with existing and frameworks and libraries, which makes adopting Effect so much easier.

Join us in this episode as Michael walk us through on his take on Functional Programming and the story behind Effect.

Enjoy the show 👨‍🍳
