https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/result/p1447828832000039 Yeah. This is exactly the point so that I don’t think that people who already uses Promise in Kovenant are really interested to switch to Result. Hence, the arguments of syncing the interfaces seem to be less compelling (weight with the fact that we have to increase the API surface that can potentially confuse our clients) I think @mplatvoet has created a beautiful lib there and I admire him for that. The reason, I've created Result is not by any means to replace his implementation or even asking ppl to switch. Rather, I want just only a FP style model for success/operations and nothing else. In that regards, I don’t feel I need Kovenant just only for that. And I look around and don’t see alternatives either. I am learning myself a FP lang (specifically http://elm-lang.org/), so I take a lot of influences from there. Taking that into account,
map
,
flatMap
is very common and I want to preserve the FP terminology there. I use my opinion only though, if you have a source to say otherwise. I am very happy to rename those into something more familiar.
