Yeah, Result<Err, Val> is an awesome datatype, but it's not the norm in JS, unfortunately.
How great would Promise<Err, Val> = Future<Result<Err, Val>> be :)
Instead, they integrated with exceptions, which makes throwing inside an async function great, but makes awaiting a fallible promise pretty ugly.

That's the difficulty is going opposite of the norm. It really works out well when your entire application is designed that way, but can be odd when you inject it into an existing application.
Consistency across the application is more important. So I will do these things with a new app, but code in the same style as existing apps just for consistency.
