- The ecosystem of EE libraries is a mess. There are extensible-effects, freer, freer-effects, freer-simple, and others. As far as I can tell, extensible-effects is based on free monads, and freer and freer-effects are both unmaintained.
extensible-effects is also based on freer monads. One advantage over freer-simple and other libraries is that it includes monad-control instances for most used effects, allowing to mostly painlessly use things like forkIO. The limitations of monad-control apply though. Huge disclaimer: I'm one of the contributors to extensible-effects.
