<p>
Flix supports associate types, which allow the types in instance signatures
to depend on the instance type.
</p>

<p>
The code on the right defines a trait with an associated type <code>Elm</code>,
which enables each <code>Coll</code> instance to define its element type.

<CardTitle><h4>Associated Effects</h4></CardTitle>
<CardText>
<p>
Associated effects allow the effects in trait members to depend on the instance type.
This makes it easy to create abstractions over both pure and effectful operations,
and mutable and immutable data structures.
</p>

<p>
The code on the left adds an associated effect <code>Aef</code> to the <code>Coll</code> trait,
which makes it possible to add instances for mutable collections.
