One of my remaining gripes with Javascript/Typescript is the try/catch mess around await. It makes assignment of const a pain for async calls that may reject.
e.g.
let result: SomeType;
try {
result = await funcThatReturnSomeType();
} catch (err) {
doSomethingWithErr(err);
}
// at this point result is `SomeType | undefined`
if (result) {
doSomething(result);
}
I really want some kind of structures that allow me to make `result` constant. In some cases I've rolled my own Maybe/Either wrapper and then move the try/await/catch into a function but that is still a pain.
This is such a common pattern in my code ... I wish there was a more elegant way to deal with it.
