But typed languages tend to consider actions as operations defined on
types, with certain contracts, reusable, clearly bound effects etc.

Actions as amorphous chunks of code tossed here and there depending on
scope is a way different ["anisotropic"] approach. In particular it does
not fit into safe modular software design, because of this "anisotropy".
