Writing Intent-Clear Code with Functional Programming and Effect Systems
Key point
It presents a method for explicitly managing side effects and improving code predictability by leveraging Effect Systems.
Details
RPC communication, DB queries, log output, and other operations that occur during method calls correspond to Side Effects that interact with the system and alter the execution flow. This uncertainty causes unexpected exceptions or performance degradation, reducing the predictability of code.
Using an Effect System allows these side effects to be explicitly exposed and managed. The core idea is to clarify the intent of code through functional thinking that separates code into Action, Calculation, and Data.
It covers practical approaches using Scala's Cats Effect and ZIO, and Kotlin's suspend keyword. It also examines the technical flow starting from the IO Monad, moving through Direct Style Programming, and leading to Algebraic Effects (Kyo, CanThrow, etc.).
