Programming with algebraic effects and handlers is a novel technique of
representing computational effects such as exceptions, mutable state, or
nondeterminism, in a modular way, making it possible to program against an
interface, and with a number of different effects simultaneously, which is
where the more traditional monadic approach often falls short. Effects and
their handlers are rapidly making their way into practical programming, in the
form of dedicated languages (e.g., Eff and Koka), extensions of existing
languages (e.g., OCaml) and libraries.
In this seminar we are going to read a collection of recent research papers on
algebraic effects, identify future research directions in this area and
discuss the design and implementation of a prototypical programming language
supporting algebraic effects, implemented lately by Piotr Polesiuk, a PhD
student at our Institute.
