JS doesn't have any useful built-in way to deal with success/failure, other than exceptions. We use Boxed[1] for this:

  Result
    .fromExecution(() => schema.parse(input))
    .mapOk(parsed_input => /* */)
    .mapError(parse_errors => /* */)

which is an alright way to deal with things IMO.

I would hazard a guess that `parse` is a function introduced long ago, and `safeParse` came afterwards. (Safe as in "do not throw an exception")
