Search Results for "transparent"

...Minimal amount of boilerplate: no need to manually define a schema for every type in your API. Pure interface: errors and effects are returned explicitly (no exceptions thrown), all returned types are referentially transparent (no Future). Clean separation between schema definition and implementation: schema is defined and validated at compile time using Scala standard types, resolver (RootResolver) is a simple value provided at runtime. All interfaces are pure and types are referentially transparent. Schemas are type safe and derived at compile time. ...

...It is part of the broader Typelevel ecosystem and builds on the abstractions from Cats (such as Functor, Monad, etc.). The core abstraction is the IO type (or effect types more generally), which encodes effectful computations in a pure, referentially transparent way. Cats-Effect offers capabilities like deferred execution, cancellation, resource safety (Resource), fiber concurrency (lightweight threads), and interoperation with underlying runtime platforms (JVM, Java concurrency, etc.). It enables developers to write effectful code while preserving composability, purity, and modular reasoning about side effects.
