Petty aside: Several JS people I know who were previously quite down on using a dependency injection framework are now seeing the benefits after adopting Effect.

you dont need an entire runtime to implement polymorphic console.logging. tbh the fact they want to implement the world to do this is more of an inditement against this approach than anything else

It isn't a case of wanting to implement the world to do this though.

Instead, it is a case of the active users of the library saying, "Wow, the Effect way of doing this is so much nicer, can we have everything this way please?"
