Readable functional programming imo really hinges on some essential basic language primitives. Those are sum types, pattern matching, and restricting mutability.
Forcing sum types onto a language that does not support them is bound to end in awkwardness and reduced readability without providing the real benefits of increased
correctness.
This is a great example. std::option from C++ is another one.
