Concepts

Background concepts behind nix-effects: handlers, freer monads, queues, normalization by evaluation, and description-backed data.

Concepts collects the theory that shapes the library. It is useful when you want the design vocabulary behind the implementation: algebraic effects, freer monads, queue-backed binds, normalization by evaluation, and levitated descriptions.

Theory
Papers behind nix-effects: Plotkin-Pretnar handlers, the freer monad, FTCQueue, Martin-Lof type theory, normalization by evaluation, and levitated descriptions.
