Jane Street Blog - Fun with Algebraic Effects - from Toy Examples to Hardcaml Simulations

TL;DR


Summary:
- The article discusses the use of algebraic effects in the HardCaml library, which is a hardware description language embedded in the Ocaml programming language.
- Algebraic effects are a programming language feature that allows for the modular handling of computational effects, such as exceptions, input/output, and non-determinism.
- The article demonstrates how algebraic effects can be used to simplify the implementation of various hardware components, making the code more readable and maintainable.
