Hey guy, it there a way to convert a Kotlin Result to a Arrow Either in the library, like:

fun <T : Any?> Result<T>.toEither(): Either<Throwable, T> = this.fold(
    { Either.Right(it) },
    { Either.Left(it) }
)

If not, is there anything that speaks against adding this ?

that's perfectly fine; we didn't include it directly because most of the times one has a

Result

is because of a throwing function

thats true, for most of the cases. In case you don’t want to or can’t change it (external library), it would be good to have such functionality in the core library.

indeed, although I think

result.fold(::Either.Right, ::Either.Left)

is quite small too

try it 😅

I personally don't, but feel free to open an issue in the repo to have more community input (I don't want to impose my opinion on you or any other)
