Small ot, if you like io-ts, @effect/schema is the spiritual successor from the same ecosystem.
The fp-ts, io-ts author Giulio Canti has decided that the best way to proceed was to merge the two communities of fp-ts and effect, even though it's his work that is mostly known with effect being much more niche.
It's essentially io-ts squared in its powers. The amount of things you get from schemas are endless, not just decoders and encoders but also apis, lenses, constructors, and many other things.
It's obviously heavily fp-leaning, albeit I would say effect systems such as effect, based on Scala's ZIO, are much more approachable than haskell/purescript-like languages.
