As much as I like FP and Kotlin, we ended up removing Arrow and hand rolling the few things we really wanted, like a Result sum type. It's an impressive project, however adding FP to an intentionally multi-paradigm language can lead to rough ergonomics in some places.

Interesting, but did you check out arrow-meta? It should really improve expressiveness and ergonomics.
