Keynote: Algebraic Effect Handlers with Parallelizable Computations by Ningning Xie | Lambda Days 24

Abstract
Algebraic effects and handlers are a powerful way to incorporate effects in programming languages. Algebraic effect handlers can express any free monad in a concise and composable way, and can be used to express complex control-flow, like exceptions, asynchronous I/O, local state, backtracking, and many more. However, existing designs of algebraic effects often require effects to be executed sequentially.
In this talk, I give an overview of algebraic effect handlers, and discuss how to combine effect handlers with parallelizable computations.
