Elegant Error Handling with the JavaScript “Either” Monad

I love ramda and i love fantasy-land but the problem is simply that likely 99% of your colleagues wouldnt understand it. That sucks but is the reality that i often encountered.

I used it also on greenfield projects where I then brought juniors in, and the learning curve for them was hard - at least..

So I kinda avoid it now, though using it taught me much. Even for my embedded C code.

I'm facing the same dilemma, do I go with what junior developers are going to be more familiar with or do I think of it from a 1st principles perspective and build in a way that makes the most sense from a pure engineering perspective. Unfortunately, I don't really see a way to scale past a certain point without these patterns.
