Result types are exceptions with different performance characteristics.

Like, handling a checked exception (Java) and a Google-cpp StatusOr<T> or a rust Result<T> provide extraordinary similar code. Unchecked exceptions provide a bit of extra dynamism, and languages without either are anti-user.

I find result and option types compose nicer using monadic style composition.
