kotlinlang

is there any kind of arrow-kt integration for Ktor (specifically Ktor-client stuff)? Currently im using extension functions on HttpClient like `getSafe` that just wrap the `HttpClient.get` method in a `Try`object, but i wonder if there is any way to get that out of the box / with a library

Because of type erasure, something like this isn't even  possible yet. There's barely have support for `List&lt;...&gt;` but since `typeOf` is now a thing, it might be possible in a couple weeks.

Also, IMO `Try` doesn't work well with `kotlinx.coroutines` particularly around cancellation, so I would advise against using it here.

what would you recommend using instead of Try? i really need some kind of type-safe way to handle failures, as my whole Project revolves around some Requests failing and others succeeding. I'd really hate to have to use try/catch everywhere...
