What is ZIO?

ZIO is a Scala framework designed for asynchronous and concurrent programming. It emphasizes type safety, composability, and resource safety, making it suitable for building scalable and resilient applications. The ZIO ecosystem includes libraries for HTTP, logging, configuration, streams, and testing, all built on top of ZIO's effect system. ZIO's fibers are lightweight and non-blocking, providing high performance and scalability.
