I think we've all converged on the idea that beginners should definitely start with concrete IO. And that there's no harm in continuing to use concrete IO indefinitely; indeed many teams are doing this.
So this is all well and good. Except our docs are full of stuff like this:
Which invariably leads to beginner questions: what is F[_]? To which a quick answer is "replace every F you see with IO".
Well, woops ð
def myProgram[IO[_]: Console : Monad]: IO[Unit] = ???
I think we should prioritize writing examples with concrete IO, since that is exactly what we are pitching. Providing a second example written in terms of F[_] (possibly via a fancy tabbed switcher on the website) would be reserved for bonus points.
