Hi, I have an usecase, where I want to convert a list of entities to another entities. It is possible that this conversion results in an exception. If so I want to record the error, ignore the item and continue mapping. After the operation, I want to have a List of errors and a List of converted entities. I can think of using fold with two persistent list accumulators. Do you see a better way of doing something like this? Thanks

Hey <@U03MZN8BG8N>,
You can use `Either` for this with `seperateEither`. <https://arrow-kt.io/docs/apidocs/arrow-core/arrow.core/separate-either.html>

Something like this:

```fun convert(): Either&lt;Throwable, Entity&gt; =
  Either.catch { ... }

val (errors, entities) = list.map { convert() }
    .seperateEither()```
