Yeah, looking at that example feels like jumping straight into the deep end of the pool. I think it helps going through a tutorial that breaks down the why of each piece. I really liked this tutorial on it: https://www.typeonce.dev/course/effect-beginners-complete-ge...

Some core things from Effect though that you can see in that Express example:

* Break things down into Services. Effect handles dependency injection, that's typed, for services so you can easily test them and have different versions running for testing, production, etc. * Fibers for threaded execution * Managing resources to make sure they're properly closed with scope

I think a lot of these things though often aren't truly appreciated until you've had something go wrong before or you've had to build a system to manage them yourself. *

But I feel like I've worked with massive systems with a lot going on where nothing has gone wrong that this sort of thing specifically would solve it. I think it would just increase learning curve and make people make other types of mistakes (business logic or otherwise) because it's so much less readable and understandable. I've seen similar libraries used in the past that have caused much more worse bugs because people misunderstand how they exactly work.

Yeah, this looks like the tutorial I needed. Thanks.
