An Introduction to Algebraic Effects and Handlers. Invited tutorial paper
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is a tutorial on algebraic effects and handlers. In it, we explain what algebraic effects are, give ample examples to explain how handlers work, define an operational semantics and a type & effect system, show how one can reason about effects, and give pointers for further reading.

Tutorial on Model Checking: Modelling and Verification in Computer Science
This paper serves as background material for an invited tutorial on model checking given at the Third International Conference on Algebraic Biology (AB 2008). The intended audience of the tutorial were researchers in natural science, particularly life science, but this paper may also serve as a light-weight introduction into model checking techniques in general.
متن کاملProgramming with algebraic effects and handlers
Eff is a programming language based on the algebraic approach to computational effects, in which effects are viewed as algebraic operations and effect handlers as homomorphisms from free algebras. Eff supports first-class effects and handlers through which we may easily define new computational effects, seamlessly combine existing ones, and handle them in novel ways. We give a denotational sema...
متن کاملHandlers of Algebraic Effects
We present an algebraic treatment of exception handlers and, more generally, introduce handlers for other computational effects representable by an algebraic theory. These include nondeterminism, interactive input/output, concurrency, state, time, and their combinations; in all cases the computation monad is the free-model monad of the theory. Each such handler corresponds to a model of the the...
متن کاملAn Effect System for Algebraic Effects and Handlers
We present an effect system for algebraic effects and handlers. Because handlers may transform an effectful computation into a pure one, the effect system is non-monotone in the sense that effects do not just accumulate, but may also be deleted from types or generally transformed. We also provide denotational semantics for the effect system, based on a domain-theoretic model with partial equiva...
متن کاملFrom Theory to Practice of Algebraic Effects and Handlers (Dagstuhl Seminar 16112)
Dagstuhl Seminar 16112 was devoted to research in algebraic effects and handlers, a chapter in the principles of programming languages which addresses computational effects (such as I/O, state, exceptions, nondeterminism, and many others). The speakers and the working groups covered a range of topics, including comparisons between various control mechanisms (handlers vs. delimited control), imp...
