Summary
Add Traversable utilities that enable inverting nested structures like
Array<Option<T>>intoOption<Array<T>>for fail-fast collection processing.What's included
traverse— maps each element through a function returningOption, collecting results intoOption<R[]>(returnsNoneif any element fails)sequence— specialization of traverse with identity, flippingOption<T>[]intoOption<T[]>traverseResult— same concept forResult: returnsOkof array if all succeed, or the firstErrorsequenceResult— flipsResult<T, E>[]intoResult<T[], E>Why
Traversable is a fundamental FP pattern for working with collections of effectful computations. Instead of manually iterating and checking each result, these utilities provide a declarative way to "fail fast" when processing arrays where each element may succeed or fail.
