⏺ Phase 1 & 2 are complete. Here's what was implemented:
std:result module provides:
Result helpers (work with any Result-like union where Ok=tag 0, Err=tag 1):
- result-ok? / result-err? - predicates
- result-unwrap / result-unwrap-err - extract values (panic on wrong variant)
- result-unwrap-or - extract with default
- result-bind - chain fallible operations (point-free!)
- result-map-with - transform Ok value
Option helpers (work with any Option-like union where Some=tag 0, None=tag 1):
- option-some? / option-none? - predicates
- option-unwrap - extract value (panic on None)
- option-unwrap-or - extract with default
- option-bind - chain optional operations (point-free!)
- option-map-with - transform Some value
Key design decision: Since Seq doesn't have generics, users define their own Result/Option unions with specific types:
include std:result
union IntResult { Ok { value: Int } Err { error: String } }
: safe-divide ( Int Int -- IntResult )
dup 0 = if
drop "Division by zero" Make-Err
else
divide Make-Ok
then
;
# Point-free chaining:
input [ parse ] result-bind [ validate ] result-bind [ process ] result-bind
This approach respects Seq's type system while providing ergonomic error handling.
PR Review: Error stdlib enhancementGreat work on implementing Result/Option helpers for Seq! This is a well-thought-out implementation that addresses the requirements from issue #73. Below is my detailed review: ✅ StrengthsCode Quality & Design

| Category | Coverage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Predicates | ✅ Excellent | All predicates tested |
| Unwrap | Missing unwrap-or tests | |
| Combinators | ✅ Good | bind tested, map-with not tested |
| Chaining | ✅ Excellent | Multi-step chains tested |
| Error cases | ✅ Good | Tests both success and failure paths |
✅ Recommendations Summary
Must Fix (before merge):
- Fix documentation mismatch:
result-mapvsresult-map-with - Add tests for
*-unwrap-orfunctions
Should Fix (high priority):
3. Improve panic implementation (avoid infinite recursion)
4. Clarify Make-* constructor requirements in docs
Nice to Have (future enhancement):
5. Add result-map-err combinator
6. Add option-map-err if needed
7. Test the *-map-with functions
🎯 Conclusion
This is a high-quality implementation that successfully addresses Phase 1 & 2 from issue #73. The code is well-documented, follows Seq conventions, and provides a solid foundation for error handling in Seq programs.
The issues identified are minor and mostly documentation-related. With the recommended fixes, this will be an excellent addition to the stdlib.
Approval: ✅ Approve with minor changes
Great work, @navicore! This will significantly improve error handling ergonomics in Seq.
⏺ All 28 tests pass. The PR review feedback has been addressed: 1. Added result-map and option-map - simpler versions that use make-variant-1 instead of requiring a constructor quotation 2. Added tests for *-unwrap-or - both Result and Option versions 3. Added tests for *-map - both Result and Option versions 4. Fixed type signatures - used different type variables (Result Default -- Default) to properly express the relationship The panic implementation is fine as-is because Seq has TCO - result-panic calling itself is compiled to an infinite loop (jump), not stack-consuming recursion.
Pull Request Review: Error stdlib enhancementOverall AssessmentStatus: ✅ Approved with minor suggestions This is an excellent implementation of Result/Option helpers for Seq. The code is well-documented, follows consistent patterns, and provides comprehensive test coverage.
