> When writing the Swift function, I found myself spending a lot of time thinking about how to write it. Should I use >>== or .flatMap()? Should I use my custom Result here at all, or should I stick to standard Swift and return NSError?, or maybe Bool with an NSErrorPtr? This was my first time using Result<Void>, and I started asking myself if I should create a typealias for that and maybe a helper function for the slightly strange looking success(()). The var bothered me. It always feels like a hack in FP, like you’re not smart enough to do it right. I wrote a different version that didn’t have a var. That duplicated self.cleanup in two places. So I started working on a new function that would let me include the conditional in the functional composition. I made and re-made a lot of choices. This has basically been the entirety of my experience with Scala. Having too many options - including just writing Java without semicolons - is ultimately not great for my own productivity.
