Is anyone actually using the Effect library in production?

I've stumbled across the Effect (https://effect.website) library which promises "TypeScript for production"... Although a lot of it's features seem very enticing I have some hardships actually using it in my projects...

Plus, the way some people shill this product, makes me think it's kinda sus...

So... Is anyone using Effect? Are you satisfied? Do you see any cons? Etc.

uploadthing is using effect

Neto•4/30/24, 3:44 PM

but effect is super new, so you wont find that many in production

even less with important code

FleetAdmiralJakob 🗕 🗗 🗙•4/30/24, 6:38 PM

Sure but in which way?

they say they are the "standard library for TS"... An example for things you can do (this is simplified psedo)

In the example above you can try to fetch something, automatically retry if something goes wrong, and if it succeeds process the data... Also, if an error happens in any part of the code you know the exact error

made up e.g. fetch can fail with only 2 possible values: "REQUEST_FAILED", "CONNECTION_ERROR"

asically it allows you to have more robust and safe code.
