How are people doing effect systems in rust 🦀 ? searched and found this post about it https://without.boats/blog/the-problem-of-effects/ Are there other things I should read? can someone recommend examples of other resources to read?

Funny how when you re read some technical book again after 10+ years :
a) Remember what you thought about it and what you learned
b) Get completely different (layered) meaning on the text.
c) Feel like you are "wasting time" because you could be reading something new but a) and b) make you wonder if you need to stop reading any new books ever until you finish re-reading all the books you read just in case
announcement (boosts appreciated)
We're delighted to announce the HoTTEST Summer School, which will take place online everywhere in the world during the months of July and August 2022.
The school will run both synchronously and asynchronously. The lectures will be delivered live (between 2:30-4pm UTC) and paired with various tutorial sessions run by teaching assistants. The course will also feature a discord-based all-hours Q&A and an online archive of all course materials so that participants can follow along on their own schedule.
This school is for everyone and anyone with some familiarity with abstract mathematics or theoretical computer science and an itching to learn about homotopy type theory. Our goal is to make homotopy type theory accessible to, and inclusive of, everyone who is interested, regardless of cultural background, age, ability, formal education, ethnicity, gender identity, or expression. We believe HoTT is for everyone, and are committed to fostering a kind, inclusive environment.

“Do you wanna build a browser?
Come on a tab buffet
I never use Chrome any more
Let's make one we adore
I won't let you astray
There used to be so many
But now there's not
I wish you would help me try
Do you wanna build a browser?”

In case anyone here is interested... we're having an Idris Developers Meeting next month (online). Details here: https://github.com/idris-lang/Idris2/wiki/0-%5BCommunity%5D-Idris-Developer-Meeting,-May-2022
My plan is to use it to spend a whole week at once working on the new Idris core, rather than a few hours here and there every week... but please come along for as little or as much of it as you like!
Programming, some cats, otters and giraffes...
