No clue, as far as I know (as an outsider) the effect system is still in the brainstorming phase with not much pinned down or concrete yet.

On the other hand Dotty has a lot of very, very concrete benefits I would like. 2x faster compile times for my Scala code sure would be nice...

That's fair. Personally, I'm excited to have another way to manage side effects on a platform that has so many of them.
