This tutorial has given an introduction to writing and reasoning about
side-effecting programs in Idris, using the ``Effects`` library.
More details about the *implementation* of the library, such as how
``run`` works, how handlers are invoked, etc, are given in a separate
paper [1]_.

Some libraries and programs which use ``Effects`` can be found in the
following places:

-  https://github.com/edwinb/SDL-idris — some bindings for the SDL media
   library, supporting graphics in particular.

-  https://github.com/edwinb/idris-demos — various demonstration
   programs, including several examples from this tutorial, and a “Space
   Invaders” game.

-  https://github.com/SimonJF/IdrisNet2 — networking and socket
   libraries.

-  https://github.com/edwinb/Protocols — a high level communication
   protocol description language.

The inspiration for the ``Effects`` library was Bauer and Pretnar’s
Eff language [2]_, which describes a language based on algebraic
effects and handlers.  Other recent languages and libraries have also
been built on this ideas, for example [3]_ and [4]_. The theoretical
foundations are also well-studied see [5]_, [6]_, [7]_, [8]_.
