ST instead of Effect?

[jamesdbrock]

Should everything in this package be in the ST monad instead of Effect?

I would say not until purescript/purescript-st#31 happens

Maybe with this ST optimization in purs-backend-es the performance penalty of ST is going away.

I believe the same optimizations done in ST are also done in Effect? So, does switching to ST really benefit from that?
