The article explores the concept that async programming can be viewed through the lens of effect systems and dependency injection. The author argues that functions are compiler-level abstractions and examines how return addresses work similarly to dependency injection. This perspective provides a fresh way to think about async programming patterns and error handling.
Background
Effect systems and algebraic effects are emerging programming paradigms that provide structured ways to handle side effects like async operations and errors. They offer alternatives to traditional async/await patterns.
