I've been working on Katharos, a functional programming and concurrency library for Python 3.13+. The idea behind it is simple: absence, errors, effects, and concurrent communication should be explicit, composable values instead of hidden control flow.

Very nice. Any plans to add algebraic effect handlers to this in the near future?

As someone intimately familiar with Python and not so much with "algebraic abstractions", I looked at your examples and can't figure out how they work (and why the abstraction is useful).

Am I missing something?
