1. if you use a 3rd party library so close to the native one you're basically forking into a new programming language, a massive dependency, can cut you off from ecosystem, and makes bringing others on hard.

2. Functional programming doesn't scale well. You hit complicated subjects quite quickly and the it very quickly consumes your entire codebase with non native types. All of the sudden before anyone can contribute they have to understand monads, functors, lifting functions, combinators and a lot of advanced subjects.

I experienced this with scalaz in scala world and a bit of guava in java.

I think it’s fair to classify Effect as its own programming language. Akin to RxJS, Zod, TypeScript, Tailwind, SCSS, React, Svelte, CoffeeScript or jQuery.
