Aff Basics
This folder shows some of the API of Aff. As stated before, all applications (not libraries) must be started in the Effect monad (or Eff if that's what you're using instead). An Aff-based computation can be converted into an Effect-based on by using launchAff/launchAff_.
So far, we've been printing values to the screen via log. That function's type signature is String -> Effect Unit. Since the "bind outputs the same box-like type it receives" restriction exists, we normally would not be able to use/compute in a different monadic context. For the time being, we will work around that problem by using a special function called specialLog. We'll explain how that's possible in the next folder, Lifting Monads, but for now just read it like you would log.
API not covered here (though it shouldn't be that hard to figure out how it works after reading through these examples and watching Nate's video)
