The last part of the code we wrote is neither logic nor effects. It is code which ties together logic (main) with effects. We can encapsulate that in a run() function. This lesson shows how we can structure these pieces together, and generalize effect handling with "drivers".

If you comment out Log: from main(), it will still throw an error. I think run() would need to check the keys before running each effects https://jsbin.com/fahazihahe/1/edit?html,js,console,output?

Samuel, correct! That if statement slipped from me when recording, and the program still executed. However, we quickly introduced the official Cycle.run(), which I mentioned has enough error checks. The point of this lesson is to understand what run() is responsible for.
