When I see a new (for me) idea coming from (presumably) category theory I wonder if it really will land in any mainstream language. In my experience having cohesion on the philosophical level of the language is the reason why it is nice to work with it in a team of programmers who are adept in both programming and in the business context. A set of programming patterns to solve a problem usually can be replaced with a possibly disjunct set of patterns where both solutions have all the same ilities in the code and solve the business problem.

My question is - can a mainstream language adopt the algebraic effects (handlers?) without creating deep confusion or a new language should be built from the ground up building on top of these abstractions in some form.
