   Three clicks, no info what effect 4.0 is, except that it's AI-ready, safe, good, and re-built from the ground up. No idea what it actually is.

      I had the same thought, until I realized the posted link is for their 4.0 release rather than their homepage.

      Their main page makes the product pretty clear.

         Still can’t tell if it’s a language, library or framework

            Have you tried reading the big bold text at the top of the page?

            It is a library.

               &gt;incredibly simple to build the API and a background worker process with Effect. I get logging, telemetry, error handling, concurrency, API doc generation, and more for free!

               But that can&#x27;t be a library? Must be a framework? (eg more batteries included)

                  That&#x27;s not the definition of a framework.

                  You call a library. A framework calls you.
