Scala for-expressions make it pretty easy to write "direct style" code. Someone on the team should probably understand whats going on, though. I've had decent success with ZIO on my team, and it seems perfectly teachable/learnable.

I am the someone who "understand whats going on". My experience of the knowledge transfer was not pleasant at all. Maybe it's my ability of explaining, maybe it's my teammates, maybe it's ZIO having better names for combinators than Cats.

For-comprehension does help. But the alternative is callback hell all the way, so that's not saying much. It is still clunky compared to the regular syntax.
