Second-class modules for the Effekt programming language

Assigned to Roman Schulte.

Effekt is a research programming language that features a lightweight implementation of effects and handlers. As part of this thesis, the language was extended with second-class modules and related functionalities. These new features allow programmers to define modules and abstract them with interfaces. Also, the module system aims to strengthen the interplay between effects and modules. Both concepts share common characteristics, paving the way for potential future unification. This work examines those possibilities and provides insights into the relationship of modules and effects.
