Did anyone try implementing get() using Arrow Optics? It might avoid a bunch of gets to drill down a hierarchy and get { } that inspects the source code itself...

[dave08]

One useful example would be:

fun <R> Assertion.Builder<JsonElement>.getEvery(function: Every<JsonElement, R>): DescribeableBuilder<List<R>> {
        val result = function.getAll(this.subject)
        return get("Get from 'every' optic: $result") { result }
    }

But I'm sure it could be done better...

not to my knowledge, but that’s an interesting idea. I us Arrow lenses a lot at work, although I confess I find the rest of the library incomprehensible

The docs were redone and 1.2.0 is supposed to come out soon, the new docs are more comprehensible...
