Hi
I’m trying to use https://github.com/kittinunf/Result in my code which can throw a lot of exceptions, but I see 2 disadvantages:
1) my natural assumtpion is that exception thrown inside .map { anotherUnsafeAction() } will be capture inside Failure. But it’s not, you have to explicitely call Result.of { }, eg. .flatMap { Result.of { anotherUnsafeAction() } }
2) I found it unclear for my collegaues (and me too) that Result.of { } is captutring excepitons. I means if you look into code after month and forget that this is the way the Result works. What I would prefer is, hmmmm, doSafely { … } or captureExceptionsIn { … }

In other words what I have in mind is syntax for “Starting from now please capture all exceptions and let me handle them in final code block`. And yes, it’s definitely same as wrapping everything inside try { .. } catch() { … } 😛 (maybe with the difference that I want type which can be returned and continue the flow)

If I’m using Result improperly, please, tell me 🙂 Are there alternatives which can suit my needs? Or maybe is it proper time for issue / pull request? Or time to write another lib which will suit another needs?
