The Effekt language is developed by members of the effects research team at the University of Tübingen. For a detailed overview of our papers, please visit:
Make also sure to look at Language Evolution for a summary of the changes since the publication of each paper.

The language is the result of several developments. In particular, it is the first language to combine a second-class type-system with advanced control effects. In particular, we compile Effekt programs to capability-passing style, using a monadic implementation of delimited control.
You can read more about the language, its predecessors, and important technical details in the following papers, which are ordered by relevance to the Effekt language. We are happy to share author-copies on request.
