I built an alternative to the Typescript package "neverthrow" called "no-exceptions"
I found neverthrow's api to be not very ergonomic so I built my own little version.

Hi, no worries, I understand your question.
I thought that most of the use cases for such a library could be boiled down to a single function that can wrap throwable pieces of code and convert their result to a Result type and that's exactly what I implemented.
I also wanted minimal amount of methods for the Result variant classes and delightful method names so I tried to do that and I'm happy with the results! (no pun intended)
It's just a little side project, not much thought has been put inside of it except the core idea behind it that I just explained.
Serious question, not dismissing any of your work but why implement it yourself when there's plenty of such implementations in TS land already.
fp-ts has an Either type e.g. but there's plenty of such libraries.
