I looked and Flix a while ago and found it really interesting - so much so that I wrote an article "Flix for Java Programmers" about it. Might actually be a bit outdated by now.. need to look at Flix's recent development again.

But if you're interested: https://www.reactivesystems.eu/2022/06/24/flix-for-java-prog...

Cool blog post! With your permission, I would be happy to add it here: https://doc.flix.dev/blog-posts.html

The language has improved a lot in the years since the post. In particular, the effect system has been significantly extended, Java interoperability is much improved, and some syntax have been updated.

Thanks! And of course you have my permission, I'd be honored if the post was included in that list.

Wow what a gold mine your blog is. It’s like a more elaborate and well thought through version of thoughts that have been torturing me for years. Looking forward to reading it all.
