I'm relatively new to C++ and I found absl::StatusOr<T> and its helper macros to be extraordinarily pleasant.

Yep, these are used extensively at Google (which is where the abseil library came from, and which is famously anti-cpp-exceptions) and they work very well. If I somehow found myself writing a new C++ project I'd probably reach for abseil (and some of the other parts of the Google toolchain: GoogleTest for testing, bazel for builds).

It has helper macros now? I liked StatusOr but had to write my own helper macros for it at the time.
