It does tend to naturally bubble upwards as you point out, but you can decide where to stop.

E.g. you could describe a complex effect that has retry, scheduling, etc and run it only once with `Effect.runFork(yourEffect)`

That's in general how teams adopt it, in general there's a champion in the team that sells using one feature, and as people get accustomed and the champion does a good work mentoring it slowly takes over whole projects.

It seems Effect doesn't actually have resumable continuations, looks like it's mainly a type driven ease of use library rather than a fundamental algebraic effects system right?
