From 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), implementation of an effect system for OCaml, compilation techniques for algebraic effects and handlers, and implementations of effects in Haskell
