@djspiewak you don't like Try? I'd be curious to hear why.

@jeremycloud It's extremely redundant. It does nothing (sound) that can't be done with Either.

@djspiewak @jeremycloud we didn’t like Either, we felt the name didn’t communicate what we wanted but decided on more than a typedef

@stevej @jeremycloud And that I think is what bugs me most of all. I heard *nothing* about Try prior to its unheralded arrival on master.

@djspiewak @jeremycloud like most code it had humble origins. /cc @marius

@stevej @jeremycloud @marius I don't dispute its origins, or its usefulness, but it shouldn't be in the standard library.

@djspiewak @stevej @jeremycloud its distinguished feature is just the way it composes. it naturally represents a future's state.

@marius @stevej @jeremycloud Either composes just fine. Better than Try actually, since it doesn't have the soundness issues.
