kotlinlang

Hi, which is the kotlin's approach to composing actions that may fail? Of course the actions may be suspended. I come from scala, so the "alternative" to `Either` alongside with `Future` and the `map` function. I've watched the presentations of Elizarov (which are excellent by the way), but couldn't imagine how to replace the `Either`. Thanks in advance.

Maybe something like <https://github.com/michaelbull/kotlin-result|https://github.com/michaelbull/kotlin-result> is what you're looking for?

I didn't know that library, I will take a look. Thank you. But I want to learn the kotlin way, the convention to achieve a single point of failure idiomatically

if you want `Either` you can use <https://arrow-kt.io/|Arrow>

I've read about Arrow. But it's API is unstable, the next version is 0.11. It looks very promising, but it's not production ready yet, that's why I'm looking for the idiomatic way.

I see, then I’m afraid there’s no alternative in the stdlib than to use <https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-result/|Result> (it’s not the same linked above).
