Is there a way to implement Effect without it becoming a leaky abstraction that takes over your whole app? Presumably you'd have to create an entire abstraction layer with strict boundaries, such as nestjs does with RxJS Observables, but even that has problems with leaking Observables when you need to hook into the framework's lifecycle.
Absolutely you can. Every Effect program has to be run via some call to a ‘runX()’ function that accepts your Effect program. And the call-site where you run it is the boundary of your Effect program so you can make your app as much or as little Effect as you want.
