+# Benchmark Comparison: Idiomatic vs Standard Either/Result
+
+**Date:** 2025-11-18
+**System:** AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U w/ Radeon 780M Graphics (16 cores)
+**Go Version:** go1.23+
+
+This document provides a detailed performance comparison between the optimized `either` package and the `idiomatic/result` package after recent optimizations to the either package.
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+After optimizations to the `either` package, the performance characteristics have changed significantly:
+
+### Key Findings
+
+1. **Constructors & Predicates**: Both packages now perform comparably (~1-2 ns/op) with **zero heap allocations**
+2. **Zero-allocation insight**: The `Either` struct (24 bytes) does NOT escape to heap - Go returns it by value on the stack
+3. **Core Operations**: Idiomatic package has a **consistent advantage** of 1.2x - 2.3x for most operations
+4. **Complex Operations**: Idiomatic package shows **massive advantages**:
+   - ChainFirst (Right): **32.4x faster** (87.6 ns → 2.7 ns, 72 B → 0 B)
+   - Pipeline operations: **2-3x faster** with lower allocations
+5. **All simple operations**: Both maintain **zero heap allocations** (0 B/op, 0 allocs/op)
+
+### Winner by Category
+
+| Category | Winner | Reason |
+|----------|--------|--------|
+| Constructors | **TIE** | Both ~1.3-1.8 ns/op |
+| Predicates | **TIE** | Both ~1.2-1.5 ns/op |
+| Simple Transformations | **Idiomatic** | 1.2-2x faster |
+| Monadic Operations | **Idiomatic** | 1.2-2.3x faster |
+| Complex Chains | **Idiomatic** | 32x faster, zero allocs |
+| Pipelines | **Idiomatic** | 2-2.4x faster, fewer allocs |
+| Extraction | **Idiomatic** | 6x faster (GetOrElse) |
+
+## Detailed Benchmark Results
+
+### Constructor Operations
+
+| Operation | Either (ns/op) | Idiomatic (ns/op) | Speedup | Either Allocs | Idio Allocs |
+|-----------|----------------|-------------------|---------|---------------|-------------|
+| Left      | 1.76           | **1.35**          | **1.3x** ✓ | 0 B/op | 0 B/op |
+| Right     | 1.38           | 1.43              | 1.0x    | 0 B/op | 0 B/op |
+| Of        | 1.68           | **1.22**          | **1.4x** ✓ | 0 B/op | 0 B/op |
+
+**Analysis:** Both packages perform extremely well with **zero heap allocations**. Idiomatic has a slight edge on Left and Of.
+
+**Important Clarification: Neither Package Escapes to Heap**
+
+A common misconception is that struct-based Either escapes to heap while tuples stay on stack. The benchmarks prove this is FALSE:
+
+```go
+// Either package - NO heap allocation
+type Either[E, A any] struct {
+    r      A           // 8 bytes
+    l      E           // 8 bytes
+    isLeft bool        // 1 byte + 7 padding
+}                      // Total: 24 bytes
+
+func Of[E, A any](value A) Either[E, A] {
+    return Right[E](value)  // Returns 24-byte struct BY VALUE
+}
+
+// Benchmark result: 0 B/op, 0 allocs/op ✓
+```
+
+**Why Either doesn't escape:**
+1. **Small struct** - At 24 bytes, it's below Go's escape threshold (~64 bytes)
+2. **Return by value** - Go returns small structs on the stack
+3. **Inlining** - The `//go:inline` directive eliminates function overhead
+4. **No pointers** - No pointer escapes in normal usage
+
+**Idiomatic package:**
+```go
+// Returns native tuple - always stack allocated
+func Right[A any](a A) (A, error) {
+    return a, nil  // 16 bytes total (8 + 8)
+}
+
+// Benchmark result: 0 B/op, 0 allocs/op ✓
+```
+
+**Both achieve zero allocations** - the performance difference comes from other factors like function composition overhead, not from constructor allocations.
+
+### Predicate Operations
+
+| Operation | Either (ns/op) | Idiomatic (ns/op) | Speedup | Either Allocs | Idio Allocs |
+|-----------|----------------|-------------------|---------|---------------|-------------|
+| IsLeft    | 1.45           | **1.35**          | **1.1x** ✓ | 0 B/op | 0 B/op |
+| IsRight   | 1.47           | 1.51              | 1.0x    | 0 B/op | 0 B/op |
+
+**Analysis:** Virtually identical performance. The optimizations brought them to parity.
+
+### Fold Operations
+
+| Operation | Either (ns/op) | Idiomatic (ns/op) | Speedup | Either Allocs | Idio Allocs |
+|-----------|----------------|-------------------|---------|---------------|-------------|

+| Fold (Right)      | 4.03   | **2.75**          | **1.5x** ✓ | 0 B/op | 0 B/op |
+| Fold (Left)       | 3.69   | **2.40**          | **1.5x** ✓ | 0 B/op | 0 B/op |

+| ToError (Left)      | N/A   | 1.84 | Idiomatic-specific |
+
+**Analysis:** Both provide fast unwrapping. Idiomatic's tuple return is naturally unwrapped.
+
+### Map Operations

+- Significantly fewer allocations in pipeline scenarios
+- ChainFirst: **Zero allocations** (vs 72 B in Either)
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Where Either Package Excels
+
+1. **Comparable to Idiomatic**: After optimizations, Either matches Idiomatic for constructors and predicates
+2. **Feature Richness**: More operations (Do-notation, Bind, Let, Flatten, Swap)
+3. **Type Flexibility**: Full Either[E, A] with custom error types
+
+### Where Idiomatic Package Excels
+
+1. **Core Operations**: 1.2-2.3x faster for Map, Chain, Fold
+2. **Complex Operations**: 32x faster for ChainFirst
+3. **Pipelines**: 2-3.4x faster with fewer allocations
+4. **Extraction**: 3-6x faster for GetOrElse
+5. **Alternative**: 2x faster for Alt/OrElse
+6. **BiMap**: 3-4x faster
+7. **Consistency**: More predictable performance profile
+
+## Real-World Performance Impact
+
+### Hot Path Example (1 million operations)
+
+```go
+// Map operation (very common)
+// Either:    5.13 ns/op × 1M = 5.13 ms
+// Idiomatic: 4.34 ns/op × 1M = 4.34 ms
+// Savings: 0.79 ms per million operations
+
+// Chain operation (common in pipelines)
+// Either:    5.44 ns/op × 1M = 5.44 ms
+// Idiomatic: 2.34 ns/op × 1M = 2.34 ms
+// Savings: 3.10 ms per million operations
+
+// Pipeline Complex (realistic composition)
+// Either:    279.8 ns/op × 1M = 279.8 ms
+// Idiomatic: 116.3 ns/op × 1M = 116.3 ms
+// Savings: 163.5 ms per million operations
+```
+
+### Memory Impact
+
+For 1 million ChainFirst operations:
+- Either: 72 MB allocated
+- Idiomatic: 0 MB allocated
+- **Savings: 72 MB + reduced GC pressure**
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Use Idiomatic Package When:
+
+1. **Performance is Critical**
+   - Hot paths in your application
+   - High-throughput services (>10k req/s)
+   - Complex operation chains
+   - Memory-constrained environments
+
+2. **Natural Go Integration**
+   - Working with stdlib (value, error) patterns
+   - Team familiar with Go idioms
+   - Simple migration from existing code
+   - Want zero-cost abstractions
+
+3. **Pipeline-Heavy Code**
+   - 2-3.4x faster pipelines
+   - Significantly fewer allocations
+   - Better CPU cache utilization
+
+### Use Either Package When:
+
+1. **Feature Requirements**
+   - Need custom error types (Either[E, A])
+   - Using Do-notation for complex compositions
+   - Need Flatten, Swap, or other Either-specific operations
+   - Porting from FP languages (Scala, Haskell)
+
+2. **Type Safety Over Performance**
+   - Explicit Either semantics
+   - Algebraic data type guarantees
+   - Teaching/learning FP concepts
+
+3. **Moderate Performance Needs**
+   - After optimizations, Either is quite fast
+   - Difference matters only at high scale
+   - Code clarity > micro-optimizations
+
+### Hybrid Approach
+
+```go
+// Use Either for complex type safety
+import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/either"
+type ValidationError struct { Field, Message string }
+validated := either.Either[ValidationError, Input]{...}
+
+// Convert to Idiomatic for hot path
+import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/result"
+value, err := either.UnwrapError(either.MapLeft(toError)(validated))
+processed, err := result.Chain(hotPathProcessing)(value, err)
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+After optimizations to the Either package:
+
+1. **Both packages achieve zero heap allocations for constructors** - The Either struct (24 bytes) does NOT escape to heap
+2. **Simple operations** are now **comparable** between both packages (~1-2 ns/op, 0 B/op)
+3. **Core transformations** favor Idiomatic by **1.2-2.3x**
+4. **Complex operations** heavily favor Idiomatic by **2-32x**
+5. **Memory efficiency** strongly favors Idiomatic (especially ChainFirst: 72 B → 0 B)
+6. **Real-world pipelines** show **2-3.4x speedup** with Idiomatic
+
+### Key Insight: No Heap Escape Myth
+
+A critical finding: **Both packages avoid heap allocations for simple operations.** The Either struct is small enough (24 bytes) that Go returns it by value on the stack, not the heap. The `0 B/op, 0 allocs/op` benchmarks confirm this.
+
+The performance differences come from:
+- **Function composition overhead** in complex operations
+- **Currying and closure creation** in pipelines
+- **Tuple simplicity** vs struct field access
+
+Not from constructor allocations—both are equally efficient there.
+
+### Final Verdict
+
+The idiomatic package provides a compelling performance advantage for production workloads while maintaining zero-cost functional programming abstractions. The Either package remains excellent for type safety, feature richness, and scenarios where explicit Either[E, A] semantics are valuable.
+
+**Bottom Line:**
+- For **high-performance Go services**: idiomatic package is the clear winner (1.2-32x faster)
+- For **type-safe, feature-rich FP**: Either package is excellent (comparable simple ops, more features)
+- **Both avoid heap allocations** for constructors—choose based on your performance vs features trade-off

+
+## Visual Example: The Problem
+
+### Scenario: Processing User Input
+
+```go
+// Process user input through multiple validation steps
+input := "42"
+
+// v2/option - Nested MonadChain
+result := MonadChain(
+    MonadChain(
+        MonadChain(
+            Some(input),
+            validateNotEmpty,  // Step 1
+        ),
+        parseToInt,           // Step 2
+    ),
+    validateRange,            // Step 3
+)
+```
+
+### What Happens Under the Hood
+
+#### v2/option (Struct Construction Overhead)
+
+```go
+// Step 0: Initial value
+Some(input)
+// Creates: Option[string]{value: "42", isSome: true}
+// Memory: HEAP allocation
+
+// Step 1: Validate not empty
+MonadChain(opt, validateNotEmpty)
+// Input:  Option[string]{value: "42", isSome: true}   ← Read from heap
+// Output: Option[string]{value: "42", isSome: true}   ← NEW heap allocation
+// Memory: 2 heap allocations
+
+// Step 2: Parse to int
+MonadChain(opt, parseToInt)
+// Input:  Option[string]{value: "42", isSome: true}   ← Read from heap
+// Output: Option[int]{value: 42, isSome: true}        ← NEW heap allocation
+// Memory: 3 heap allocations
+
+// Step 3: Validate range
+MonadChain(opt, validateRange)
+// Input:  Option[int]{value: 42, isSome: true}        ← Read from heap
+// Output: Option[int]{value: 42, isSome: true}        ← NEW heap allocation
+// Memory: 4 heap allocations TOTAL
+
+// Each step:
+// 1. Reads Option struct from memory
+// 2. Checks isSome field
+// 3. Calls function
+// 4. Creates NEW Option struct
+// 5. Writes to memory
+```
+
+#### idiomatic/option (Zero Allocation)
+
+```go
+// Step 0: Initial value
+s, ok := Some(input)
+// Creates: ("42", true)
+// Memory: STACK only (registers)
+
+// Step 1: Validate not empty
+v1, ok1 := Chain(validateNotEmpty)(s, ok)
+// Input:  ("42", true)          ← Values in registers
+// Output: ("42", true)          ← Values in registers
+// Memory: ZERO allocations
+
+// Step 2: Parse to int
+v2, ok2 := Chain(parseToInt)(v1, ok1)
+// Input:  ("42", true)          ← Values in registers
+// Output: (42, true)            ← Values in registers
+// Memory: ZERO allocations
+
+// Step 3: Validate range
+v3, ok3 := Chain(validateRange)(v2, ok2)
+// Input:  (42, true)            ← Values in registers
+// Output: (42, true)            ← Values in registers
+// Memory: ZERO allocations TOTAL
+
+// Each step:
+// 1. Reads values from registers (no memory access!)
+// 2. Checks bool flag
+// 3. Calls function
+// 4. Returns new tuple (stays in registers)
+// 5. Compiler optimizes everything away!
+```
+
+---
+
+## Assembly-Level Difference
+
+### v2/option - Struct Overhead
+
+```asm
+; Every chain step does:
+MOV  RAX, [heap_ptr]        ; Load struct from heap
+TEST BYTE [RAX+8], 1        ; Check isSome field
+JZ   none_case              ; Branch if None
+MOV  RDI, [RAX]             ; Load value from struct
+CALL transform_func         ; Call the function
+CALL malloc                 ; Allocate new struct ⚠️
+MOV  [new_ptr], result      ; Store result
+MOV  [new_ptr+8], 1         ; Set isSome = true
+```
+
+### idiomatic/option - Optimized Away
+
+```asm
+; All steps compiled to:
+MOV  EAX, 42                ; The final result!
+; Everything else optimized away! ⚡
+```
+
+**Compiler insight**: With tuples, the Go compiler can:
+1. **Inline everything** - No function call overhead
+2. **Eliminate branches** - Constant propagation removes `if ok` checks
+3. **Use registers only** - Values never touch memory
+4. **Dead code elimination** - Removes unnecessary operations
+

+
+## Real-World Example with Timings
+
+### Example: User Registration Validation Chain
+
+```go
+// Validate: email → trim → lowercase → check format → check uniqueness
+```
+
+#### v2/option Performance
+
+```go
+func ValidateEmail_v2(email string) Option[string] {
+    return MonadChain(
+        MonadChain(
+            MonadChain(
+                MonadChain(
+                    Some(email),
+                    trimWhitespace,      // ~2 ns
+                ),
+                toLowerCase,             // ~2 ns
+            ),
+            validateFormat,              // ~2 ns
+        ),
+        checkUniqueness,                 // ~2 ns
+    )
+}
+// Total: ~8-16 ns (matches our 5-step benchmark: 16.57 ns)
+```
+
+#### idiomatic/option Performance
+
+```go
+func ValidateEmail_idiomatic(email string) (string, bool) {
+    v1, ok1 := Chain(trimWhitespace)(email, true)
+    v2, ok2 := Chain(toLowerCase)(v1, ok1)
+    v3, ok3 := Chain(validateFormat)(v2, ok2)
+    return Chain(checkUniqueness)(v3, ok3)
+}
+// Total: ~0.22 ns (entire chain optimized to single operation!)
+```
+
+**Impact**: For 1 million validations:
+- v2/option: 16.57 ms
+- idiomatic/option: 0.22 ms
+- **Difference: 75x faster = saved 16.35 ms**
+
+---
+
+## Why Map is Fast in v2/option
+
+Interestingly, `Map` (pure transformations) is **much faster** than `Chain`:
+
+```
+v2/option:
+- BenchmarkChain_5Steps:  16.57 ns
+- BenchmarkMap_5Steps:     0.28 ns  ← 59x FASTER!
+```
+
+**Reason**: Map transformations can be **inlined and fused** by the compiler:
+
+```go
+// This:
+Map(f5)(Map(f4)(Map(f3)(Map(f2)(Map(f1)(opt)))))
+
+// Becomes (after compiler optimization):
+Some(f5(f4(f3(f2(f1(value))))))  // Single struct construction!
+
+// While Chain cannot be optimized the same way:
+MonadChain(MonadChain(...))  // Must construct at each step
+```
+
+---
+
+## When Does This Matter?
+
+### ⚠️ **Rarely Critical** (99% of use cases)
+
+Even 10-step chains only cost **47 nanoseconds**. For context:
+- Database query: **~1,000,000 ns** (1 ms)
+- HTTP request: **~10,000,000 ns** (10 ms)
+- File I/O: **~100,000 ns** (0.1 ms)
+
+**The 47 ns overhead is negligible compared to real I/O operations.**
+
+### ⚡ **Can Matter** (High-throughput scenarios)
+
+1. **In-memory data processing pipelines**
+   ```go
+   // Processing 10 million records with 5-step validation
+   v2/option:        165 ms
+   idiomatic/option:   2 ms
+   Difference:       163 ms saved ⚡
+   ```
+
+2. **Real-time stream processing**
+   - Processing 100k events/second with chained transformations
+   - 16.57 ns × 100,000 = 1.66 ms vs 0.22 ns × 100,000 = 0.022 ms
+   - Can affect throughput for high-frequency trading, gaming, etc.
+
+3. **Tight inner loops with chained logic**
+   ```go
+   for i := 0; i < 1_000_000; i++ {
+       result := Chain(f1).Chain(f2).Chain(f3).Chain(f4)(data[i])
+   }
+   // v2/option: 16 ms
+   // idiomatic: 0.22 ms
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Root Cause Summary
+
+| Aspect | v2/option | idiomatic/option | Why? |
+|--------|-----------|------------------|------|
+| **Intermediate values** | `Option[T]` struct | `(T, bool)` tuple | Struct requires memory, tuple can use registers |
+| **Memory allocation** | 1 per step | 0 total | Heap vs stack |
+| **Compiler optimization** | Limited | Aggressive | Structs block inlining |
+| **Cache impact** | Heap reads | Register-only | Memory bandwidth saved |
+| **Branch prediction** | Struct checks | Optimized away | Compiler removes branches |
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### ✅ **Use v2/option When:**
+- I/O-bound operations (database, network, files)
+- User-facing applications (latency dominated by I/O)
+- Need JSON marshaling, TryCatch, SequenceArray
+- Chain depth < 5 steps (overhead < 20 ns - negligible)
+- Code clarity > microsecond performance
+
+### ✅ **Use idiomatic/option When:**
+- CPU-bound data processing
+- High-throughput stream processing
+- Tight inner loops with chaining
+- In-memory analytics
+- Performance-critical paths
+- Chain depth > 5 steps
+
+### ✅ **Mitigation for v2/option:**
+
+If you need v2/option but want better chain performance:
+
+1. **Use Map instead of Chain** when possible:
+   ```go
+   // Bad (16.57 ns):
+   MonadChain(MonadChain(MonadChain(opt, f1), f2), f3)
+
+   // Good (0.28 ns):
+   Map(f3)(Map(f2)(Map(f1)(opt)))
+   ```
+
+2. **Batch operations**:
+   ```go
+   // Instead of chaining many steps:
+   validate := func(x T) Option[T] {
+       // Combine multiple checks in one function
+       if check1(x) && check2(x) && check3(x) {
+           return Some(transform(x))
+       }
+       return None[T]()
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Profile first**:
+   - Only optimize hot paths
+   - 47 ns is often acceptable
+   - Don't premature optimize
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+**The deep chaining performance gap is:**
+- ✅ **Real and measurable** (37-224x slower)
+- ✅ **Well understood** (struct construction overhead)
+- ⚠️ **Rarely critical** (nanosecond differences usually don't matter)
+- ✅ **Easy to work around** (use Map, batch operations)
+- ✅ **Worth it for the API benefits** (JSON, methods, helpers)
+
+**For 99% of applications, v2/option's performance is excellent.** The gap only matters in specialized high-throughput scenarios where you should probably use idiomatic/option anyway.
+
+The optimizations already applied (`//go:inline`, direct field access) brought v2/option to **competitive parity** for all practical purposes. The remaining gap is a **fundamental design trade-off**, not a fixable bug.

+# Design Decisions
+
+This document explains the key design decisions and principles behind fp-go's API design.

+
+## Data Last Principle
+
+fp-go follows the **"data last"** principle, where the data being operated on is always the last parameter in a function. This design choice enables powerful function composition and partial application patterns.
+
+### What is "Data Last"?
+
+In the "data last" style, functions are structured so that:
+1. Configuration parameters come first
+2. The data to be transformed comes last
+
+This is the opposite of the traditional object-oriented style where the data (receiver) comes first.
+
+### Why "Data Last"?
+
+The "data last" principle enables:
+
+1. **Natural Currying**: Functions can be partially applied to create specialized transformations
+2. **Function Composition**: Operations can be composed before applying them to data
+3. **Point-Free Style**: Write transformations without explicitly mentioning the data
+4. **Reusability**: Create reusable transformation pipelines
+
+### Examples
+
+#### Basic Transformation
+
+```go
+// Data last style (fp-go)
+double := array.Map(number.Mul(2))
+result := double([]int{1, 2, 3}) // [2, 4, 6]
+
+// Compare with data first style (traditional)
+result := array.Map([]int{1, 2, 3}, number.Mul(2))
+```
+
+#### Function Composition
+
+```go
+import (
+    A "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/array"
+    F "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+    N "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/number"
+)
+
+// Create a pipeline of transformations
+pipeline := F.Flow3(
+    A.Filter(func(x int) bool { return x > 0 }),     // Keep positive numbers
+    A.Map(N.Mul(2)),                                  // Double each number
+    A.Reduce(func(acc, x int) int { return acc + x }, 0), // Sum them up
+)
+
+// Apply the pipeline to different data
+result1 := pipeline([]int{-1, 2, 3, -4, 5})  // (2 + 3 + 5) * 2 = 20
+result2 := pipeline([]int{1, 2, 3})          // (1 + 2 + 3) * 2 = 12
+```
+
+#### Partial Application
+
+```go
+import (
+    O "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/option"
+)
+
+// Create specialized functions by partial application
+getOrZero := O.GetOrElse(func() int { return 0 })
+getOrEmpty := O.GetOrElse(func() string { return "" })
+
+// Use them with different data
+value1 := getOrZero(O.Some(42))        // 42
+value2 := getOrZero(O.None[int]())     // 0
+
+text1 := getOrEmpty(O.Some("hello"))   // "hello"
+text2 := getOrEmpty(O.None[string]())  // ""
+```
+
+#### Building Reusable Transformations
+
+```go
+import (
+    E "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/either"
+    O "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/option"
+)
+
+// Create a reusable validation pipeline
+type User struct {
+    Name  string
+    Email string
+    Age   int
+}
+
+validateAge := E.FromPredicate(
+    func(u User) bool { return u.Age >= 18 },
+    func(u User) error { return errors.New("must be 18 or older") },
+)
+
+validateEmail := E.FromPredicate(
+    func(u User) bool { return strings.Contains(u.Email, "@") },
+    func(u User) error { return errors.New("invalid email") },
+)
+
+// Compose validators
+validateUser := F.Flow2(
+    validateAge,
+    E.Chain(validateEmail),
+)
+
+// Apply to different users
+result1 := validateUser(User{Name: "Alice", Email: "alice@example.com", Age: 25})
+result2 := validateUser(User{Name: "Bob", Email: "invalid", Age: 30})
+```
+
+#### Monadic Operations
+
+```go
+import (
+    O "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/option"
+)
+
+// Data last enables clean monadic chains
+parseAndDouble := F.Flow2(
+    O.FromPredicate(func(s string) bool { return s != "" }),
+    O.Chain(func(s string) O.Option[int] {
+        n, err := strconv.Atoi(s)
+        if err != nil {
+            return O.None[int]()
+        }
+        return O.Some(n * 2)
+    }),
+)
+
+result1 := parseAndDouble("21")  // Some(42)
+result2 := parseAndDouble("")    // None
+result3 := parseAndDouble("abc") // None
+```
+
+### Monadic vs Non-Monadic Forms
+
+fp-go provides two forms for most operations:
+
+1. **Curried form** (data last): Returns a function that can be composed
+2. **Monadic form** (data first): Takes all parameters at once
+
+```go
+// Curried form - data last, returns a function
+Map[A, B any](f func(A) B) func(Option[A]) Option[B]
+
+// Monadic form - data first, direct execution
+MonadMap[A, B any](fa Option[A], f func(A) B) Option[B]
+```
+
+**When to use each:**
+
+- **Curried form**: When building pipelines, composing functions, or creating reusable transformations
+- **Monadic form**: When you have all parameters available and want direct execution
+
+```go
+// Curried form - building a pipeline
+transform := F.Flow3(
+    O.Map(strings.ToUpper),
+    O.Filter(func(s string) bool { return len(s) > 3 }),
+    O.GetOrElse(func() string { return "DEFAULT" }),
+)
+result := transform(O.Some("hello"))
+
+// Monadic form - direct execution
+result := O.MonadMap(O.Some("hello"), strings.ToUpper)
+```
+

+## Kleisli and Operator Types
+
+fp-go uses consistent type aliases across all monads to make code more recognizable and composable. These types provide a common vocabulary that works across different monadic contexts.
+
+### Type Definitions
+
+```go
+// Kleisli arrow - a function that returns a monadic value
+type Kleisli[A, B any] = func(A) M[B]
+
+// Operator - a function that transforms a monadic value
+type Operator[A, B any] = func(M[A]) M[B]
+```
+
+Where `M` represents the specific monad (Option, Either, IO, etc.).
+
+### Why These Types Matter
+
+1. **Consistency**: The same type names appear across all monads
+2. **Recognizability**: Experienced functional programmers immediately understand the intent
+3. **Composability**: Functions with these types compose naturally
+4. **Documentation**: Type signatures clearly communicate the operation's behavior
+
+### Examples Across Monads
+
+#### Option Monad
+
+```go
+// option/option.go
+type Kleisli[A, B any] = func(A) Option[B]
+type Operator[A, B any] = func(Option[A]) Option[B]
+
+// Chain uses Kleisli
+func Chain[A, B any](f Kleisli[A, B]) Operator[A, B]
+
+// Map returns an Operator
+func Map[A, B any](f func(A) B) Operator[A, B]
+```
+
+#### Either Monad
+
+```go
+// either/either.go
+type Kleisli[E, A, B any] = func(A) Either[E, B]
+type Operator[E, A, B any] = func(Either[E, A]) Either[E, B]
+
+// Chain uses Kleisli
+func Chain[E, A, B any](f Kleisli[E, A, B]) Operator[E, A, B]
+
+// Map returns an Operator
+func Map[E, A, B any](f func(A) B) Operator[E, A, B]
+```
+
+#### IO Monad
+
+```go
+// io/io.go
+type Kleisli[A, B any] = func(A) IO[B]
+type Operator[A, B any] = func(IO[A]) IO[B]
+
+// Chain uses Kleisli
+func Chain[A, B any](f Kleisli[A, B]) Operator[A, B]
+
+// Map returns an Operator
+func Map[A, B any](f func(A) B) Operator[A, B]
+```
+
+#### Array (List Monad)
+
+```go
+// array/array.go
+type Kleisli[A, B any] = func(A) []B
+type Operator[A, B any] = func([]A) []B
+
+// Chain uses Kleisli
+func Chain[A, B any](f Kleisli[A, B]) Operator[A, B]
+
+// Map returns an Operator
+func Map[A, B any](f func(A) B) Operator[A, B]
+```
+
+### Pattern Recognition
+
+Once you learn these patterns in one monad, you can apply them to all monads:
+
+```go
+// The pattern is always the same, just the monad changes
+
+// Option
+validateAge := option.Chain(func(user User) option.Option[User] {
+    if user.Age >= 18 {
+        return option.Some(user)
+    }
+    return option.None[User]()
+})
+
+// Either
+validateAge := either.Chain(func(user User) either.Either[error, User] {
+    if user.Age >= 18 {
+        return either.Right[error](user)
+    }
+    return either.Left[User](errors.New("too young"))
+})
+
+// IO
+validateAge := io.Chain(func(user User) io.IO[User] {
+    return io.Of(user) // Always succeeds in IO
+})
+
+// Array
+validateAge := array.Chain(func(user User) []User {
+    if user.Age >= 18 {
+        return []User{user}
+    }
+    return []User{} // Empty array = failure
+})
+```
+
+### Composing Kleisli Arrows
+
+Kleisli arrows compose naturally using monadic composition:
+
+```go
+import (
+    O "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/option"
+    F "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+)
+
+// Define Kleisli arrows
+parseAge := func(s string) O.Option[int] {
+    n, err := strconv.Atoi(s)
+    if err != nil {
+        return O.None[int]()
+    }
+    return O.Some(n)
+}
+
+validateAge := func(age int) O.Option[int] {
+    if age >= 18 {
+        return O.Some(age)
+    }
+    return O.None[int]()
+}
+
+formatAge := func(age int) O.Option[string] {
+    return O.Some(fmt.Sprintf("Age: %d", age))
+}
+
+// Compose them using Flow and Chain
+pipeline := F.Flow3(
+    parseAge,
+    O.Chain(validateAge),
+    O.Chain(formatAge),
+)
+
+result := pipeline("25") // Some("Age: 25")
+result := pipeline("15") // None (too young)
+result := pipeline("abc") // None (parse error)
+```
+
+### Building Reusable Operators
+
+Operators can be created once and reused across your codebase:
+
+```go
+import (
+    E "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/either"
+)
+
+// Create reusable operators
+type ValidationError struct {
+    Field   string
+    Message string
+}
+
+// Reusable validation operators
+validateNonEmpty := E.Chain(func(s string) E.Either[ValidationError, string] {
+    if s == "" {
+        return E.Left[string](ValidationError{
+            Field:   "input",
+            Message: "cannot be empty",
+        })
+    }
+    return E.Right[ValidationError](s)
+})
+
+validateEmail := E.Chain(func(s string) E.Either[ValidationError, string] {
+    if !strings.Contains(s, "@") {
+        return E.Left[string](ValidationError{
+            Field:   "email",
+            Message: "invalid format",
+        })
+    }
+    return E.Right[ValidationError](s)
+})
+
+// Compose operators
+validateEmailInput := F.Flow2(
+    validateNonEmpty,
+    validateEmail,
+)
+
+// Use across your application
+result1 := validateEmailInput(E.Right[ValidationError]("user@example.com"))
+result2 := validateEmailInput(E.Right[ValidationError](""))
+result3 := validateEmailInput(E.Right[ValidationError]("invalid"))
+```
+
+### Benefits of Consistent Naming
+
+1. **Cross-monad understanding**: Learn once, apply everywhere
+2. **Easier refactoring**: Changing monads requires minimal code changes
+3. **Better tooling**: IDEs can provide better suggestions
+4. **Team communication**: Shared vocabulary across the team
+5. **Library integration**: Third-party libraries follow the same patterns
+
+### Identity Monad - The Simplest Case
+
+The Identity monad shows these types in their simplest form:
+
+```go
+// identity/doc.go
+type Operator[A, B any] = func(A) B
+
+// In Identity, there's no wrapping, so:
+// - Kleisli[A, B] is just func(A) B
+// - Operator[A, B] is just func(A) B
+// They're the same because Identity adds no context
+```
+
+This demonstrates that these type aliases represent fundamental functional programming concepts, not just arbitrary naming conventions.
+
+
+## Monadic Operations Comparison
+
+fp-go's monadic operations are inspired by functional programming languages and libraries. Here's how they compare:
+
+| fp-go | fp-ts | Haskell | Scala | Description |
+|-------|-------|---------|-------|-------------|
+| `Map` | `map` | `fmap` | `map` | Functor mapping - transforms the value inside a context |
+| `Chain` | `chain` | `>>=` (bind) | `flatMap` | Monadic bind - chains computations that return wrapped values |
+| `Ap` | `ap` | `<*>` | `ap` | Applicative apply - applies a wrapped function to a wrapped value |
+| `Of` | `of` | `return`/`pure` | `pure` | Lifts a pure value into a monadic context |
+| `Fold` | `fold` | `either` | `fold` | Eliminates the context by providing handlers for each case |
+| `Filter` | `filter` | `mfilter` | `filter` | Keeps values that satisfy a predicate |
+| `Flatten` | `flatten` | `join` | `flatten` | Removes one level of nesting |
+| `ChainFirst` | `chainFirst` | `>>` (then) | `tap` | Chains for side effects, keeping the original value |
+| `Alt` | `alt` | `<\|>` | `orElse` | Provides an alternative value if the first fails |
+| `GetOrElse` | `getOrElse` | `fromMaybe` | `getOrElse` | Extracts the value or provides a default |
+| `FromPredicate` | `fromPredicate` | `guard` | `filter` | Creates a monadic value based on a predicate |
+| `Sequence` | `sequence` | `sequence` | `sequence` | Transforms a collection of effects into an effect of a collection |
+| `Traverse` | `traverse` | `traverse` | `traverse` | Maps and sequences in one operation |
+| `Reduce` | `reduce` | `foldl` | `foldLeft` | Folds a structure from left to right |
+| `ReduceRight` | `reduceRight` | `foldr` | `foldRight` | Folds a structure from right to left |
+
+### Key Differences from Other Languages
+
+#### Naming Conventions
+
+- **Go conventions**: fp-go uses PascalCase for exported functions (e.g., `Map`, `Chain`) following Go's naming conventions
+- **Type parameters first**: Non-inferrable type parameters come first (e.g., `Ap[B, E, A any]`)
+- **Monadic prefix**: Direct execution forms use the `Monad` prefix (e.g., `MonadMap`, `MonadChain`)
+
+#### Type System
+
+```go
+// fp-go (explicit type parameters when needed)
+result := option.Map(transform)(value)
+result := option.Map[string, int](transform)(value) // explicit when inference fails
+
+// Haskell (type inference)
+result = fmap transform value
+
+// Scala (type inference with method syntax)
+result = value.map(transform)
+
+// fp-ts (TypeScript type inference)
+const result = pipe(value, map(transform))
+```
+
+#### Currying
+
+```go
+// fp-go - explicit currying with data last
+double := array.Map(number.Mul(2))
+result := double(numbers)
+
+// Haskell - automatic currying
+double = fmap (*2)
+result = double numbers
+
+// Scala - method syntax
+result = numbers.map(_ * 2)
+```
+
+## Type Parameter Ordering
+
+fp-go v2 uses a specific ordering for type parameters to maximize type inference:
+
+### Rule: Non-Inferrable Parameters First
+
+Type parameters that **cannot be inferred** from function arguments come first. This allows the Go compiler to infer as many types as possible.
+
+```go
+// Ap - B cannot be inferred from arguments, so it comes first
+func Ap[B, E, A any](fa Either[E, A]) func(Either[E, func(A) B]) Either[E, B]
+
+// Usage - only B needs to be specified
+result := either.Ap[string](value)(funcInEither)
+```
+
+### Examples
+
+```go
+// Map - all types can be inferred from arguments
+func Map[E, A, B any](f func(A) B) func(Either[E, A]) Either[E, B]
+// Usage - no type parameters needed
+result := either.Map(transform)(value)
+
+// Chain - all types can be inferred
+func Chain[E, A, B any](f func(A) Either[E, B]) func(Either[E, A]) Either[E, B]
+// Usage - no type parameters needed
+result := either.Chain(validator)(value)
+
+// Of - E cannot be inferred, comes first
+func Of[E, A any](value A) Either[E, A]
+// Usage - only E needs to be specified
+result := either.Of[error](42)
+```
+
+### Benefits
+
+1. **Less verbose code**: Most operations don't require explicit type parameters
+2. **Better IDE support**: Type inference provides better autocomplete
+3. **Clearer intent**: Only specify types that can't be inferred
+
+## Generic Type Aliases
+
+fp-go v2 leverages Go 1.24's generic type aliases for cleaner type definitions:
+
+```go
+// V2 - using generic type alias (requires Go 1.24+)
+type ReaderIOEither[R, E, A any] = RD.Reader[R, IOE.IOEither[E, A]]
+
+// V1 - using type definition (Go 1.18+)
+type ReaderIOEither[R, E, A any] RD.Reader[R, IOE.IOEither[E, A]]
+```
+
+### Benefits
+
+1. **True aliases**: The type is interchangeable with its definition
+2. **No namespace imports needed**: Can use types directly without package prefixes
+3. **Simpler codebase**: Eliminates the need for `generic` subpackages
+4. **Better composability**: Types compose more naturally
+
+### Migration Pattern
+
+```go
+// Define project-wide aliases once
+package types
+
+import (
+    "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/option"
+    "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/result"
+    "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/ioresult"
+)
+
+type Option[A any] = option.Option[A]
+type Result[A any] = result.Result[A]
+type IOResult[A any] = ioresult.IOResult[A]
+
+// Use throughout your codebase
+package myapp
+
+import "myproject/types"
+
+func process(input string) types.Result[types.Option[int]] {
+    // implementation
+}
+```

+# Idiomatic vs Standard Package Comparison
+
+> **Latest Update:** 2025-11-18 - Updated with fresh benchmarks after `either` package optimizations
+
+This document provides a comprehensive comparison between the `idiomatic` packages and the standard fp-go packages (`result` and `option`).
+
+**See also:** [BENCHMARK_COMPARISON.md](./BENCHMARK_COMPARISON.md) for detailed performance analysis.

+1. [Overview](#overview)
+2. [Design Differences](#design-differences)
+3. [Performance Comparison](#performance-comparison)
+4. [API Comparison](#api-comparison)
+5. [When to Use Each](#when-to-use-each)
+
+## Overview
+
+The fp-go library provides two approaches to functional programming patterns in Go:
+
+- **Standard Packages** (`result`, `either`, `option`): Use struct wrappers for algebraic data types
+- **Idiomatic Packages** (`idiomatic/result`, `idiomatic/option`): Use native Go tuples for the same patterns
+
+### Key Insight
+
+After recent optimizations to the `either` package, both approaches now offer excellent performance:
+
+- **Simple operations** (~1-5 ns/op): Both packages perform comparably
+- **Core transformations**: Idiomatic is **1.2-2.3x faster**
+- **Complex operations**: Idiomatic is **2-32x faster** with significantly fewer allocations
+- **Real-world pipelines**: Idiomatic shows **2-3.4x speedup**
+
+The idiomatic packages provide:
+- Consistently better performance across most operations
+- Zero allocations for complex operations (ChainFirst: 72 B → 0 B)
+- More familiar Go idioms
+- Seamless integration with existing Go code
+
+## Design Differences
+
+### Data Representation
+
+#### Standard Result Package
+
+```go
+// Uses Either[error, A] which is a struct wrapper
+type Result[A any] = Either[error, A]
+type Either[E, A any] struct {
+    r      A
+    l      E
+    isLeft bool
+}
+
+// Creating values - ZERO heap allocations (struct returned by value)
+success := result.Right[error](42)  // Returns Either struct by value (0 B/op)
+failure := result.Left[int](err)    // Returns Either struct by value (0 B/op)
+
+// Benchmarks confirm:
+// BenchmarkRight-16    871258489    1.384 ns/op    0 B/op    0 allocs/op
+// BenchmarkLeft-16     683089270    1.761 ns/op    0 B/op    0 allocs/op
+```
+
+#### Idiomatic Result Package
+
+```go
+// Uses native Go tuples (value, error)
+type Kleisli[A, B any]  = func(A) (B, error)
+type Operator[A, B any] = func(A, error) (B, error)
+
+// Creating values - ZERO allocations (tuples on stack)
+success := result.Right(42)         // Returns (42, nil) - 0 B/op
+failure := result.Left[int](err)    // Returns (0, err) - 0 B/op
+
+// Benchmarks confirm:
+// BenchmarkRight-16    789879016    1.427 ns/op    0 B/op    0 allocs/op
+// BenchmarkLeft-16     895412131    1.349 ns/op    0 B/op    0 allocs/op
+```
+
+### Type Signatures
+
+#### Standard Result
+
+```go
+// Functions take and return Result[T] structs
+func Map[A, B any](f func(A) B) func(Result[A]) Result[B]
+func Chain[A, B any](f Kleisli[A, B]) func(Result[A]) Result[B]
+func Fold[A, B any](onLeft func(error) B, onRight func(A) B) func(Result[A]) B
+
+// Usage requires wrapping/unwrapping
+result := result.Right[error](42)
+mapped := result.Map(double)(result)
+value, err := result.UnwrapError(mapped)
+```
+
+#### Idiomatic Result
+
+```go
+// Functions work directly with tuples
+func Map[A, B any](f func(A) B) func(A, error) (B, error)
+func Chain[A, B any](f Kleisli[A, B]) func(A, error) (B, error)
+func Fold[A, B any](onLeft func(error) B, onRight func(A) B) func(A, error) B
+
+// Usage works naturally with Go's error handling
+value, err := result.Right(42)
+value, err = result.Map(double)(value, err)
+// Can use directly: if err != nil { ... }
+```
+
+### Memory Layout
+
+#### Standard Result (struct-based)
+
+```
+Either[error, int] struct (returned by value):
+┌─────────────────────┐
+│ r: int (8B)         │  Stack allocation: 24 bytes
+│ l: error (8B)       │  NO heap allocation when returned by value
+│ isLeft: bool (1B)   │  Benchmarks show 0 B/op, 0 allocs/op
+│ padding (7B)        │
+└─────────────────────┘
+
+Key insight: Go returns small structs (<= ~64 bytes) by value on the stack.
+The Either struct (24 bytes) does NOT escape to heap in normal usage.
+```
+
+#### Idiomatic Result (tuple-based)
+
+```
+(int, error) tuple:
+┌─────────────────────┐
+│ int: 8 bytes        │  Stack allocation: 16 bytes
+│ error: 8 bytes      │  NO heap allocation
+└─────────────────────┘
+
+Both approaches achieve zero heap allocations for constructor operations!
+```
+
+### Why Both Have Zero Allocations
+
+Both packages avoid heap allocations for simple operations:
+
+**Standard Either/Result:**
+- `Either` struct is small (24 bytes)
+- Go returns by value on the stack
+- Inlining eliminates function call overhead
+- Result: `0 B/op, 0 allocs/op`
+
+**Idiomatic Result:**
+- Tuples are native Go multi-value returns
+- Always on stack, never heap
+- Even simpler than structs
+- Result: `0 B/op, 0 allocs/op`
+
+**When Either WOULD escape to heap:**
+```go
+// Taking address of local Either
+func bad1() *Either[error, int] {
+    e := Right[error](42)
+    return &e  // ESCAPES: pointer to local
+}
+
+// Storing in interface
+func bad2() interface{} {
+    return Right[error](42)  // ESCAPES: interface boxing
+}
+
+// Closure capture with pointer receiver
+func bad3() func() Either[error, int] {
+    e := Right[error](42)
+    return func() Either[error, int] {
+        return e  // May escape depending on usage
+    }
+}
+```
+
+In normal functional composition (Map, Chain, Fold), neither package causes heap allocations for simple operations.

+| BiMap (Right)         | 16.79          | **3.82**          | 4.4x    | 0 B | 0 B |
+| BiMap (Left)          | 11.47          | **3.47**          | 3.3x    | 0 B | 0 B |
+
+**Critical Insight:** ChainFirst shows the most dramatic difference - **32x faster** with **zero allocations** in idiomatic.
+
+### Pipeline Benchmarks (Real-World Scenarios)
+
+| Operation | Either (ns/op) | Idiomatic (ns/op) | Speedup | Either Allocs | Idio Allocs |

+
+**Analysis:** In realistic composition scenarios, idiomatic is consistently 2-3x faster with fewer allocations.
+
+### Extraction Operations
+
+| Operation | Either (ns/op) | Idiomatic (ns/op) | Speedup | Winner |

+
+### Creating Values
+
+#### Standard Result
+
+```go
+import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/result"
+
+// Create success/failure
+success := result.Right[error](42)
+failure := result.Left[int](errors.New("oops"))
+
+// Type annotation required
+var r result.Result[int] = result.Right[error](42)
+```
+
+#### Idiomatic Result
+
+```go
+import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/result"
+
+// Create success/failure (more concise)
+success := result.Right(42)           // (42, nil)
+failure := result.Left[int](errors.New("oops"))  // (0, error)
+
+// Native Go pattern
+value, err := result.Right(42)
+if err != nil {
+    // handle error
+}
+```
+
+### Transforming Values
+
+#### Standard Result
+
+```go
+// Map transforms the success value
+double := result.Map(N.Mul(2))
+result := double(result.Right[error](21))  // Right(42)
+
+// Chain sequences operations
+validate := result.Chain(func(x int) result.Result[int] {
+    if x > 0 {
+        return result.Right[error](x * 2)
+    }
+    return result.Left[int](errors.New("negative"))
+})
+```
+
+#### Idiomatic Result
+
+```go
+// Map transforms the success value
+double := result.Map(N.Mul(2))
+value, err := double(21, nil)  // (42, nil)
+
+// Chain sequences operations
+validate := result.Chain(func(x int) (int, error) {
+    if x > 0 {
+        return x * 2, nil
+    }
+    return 0, errors.New("negative")
+})
+```
+
+### Pattern Matching
+
+#### Standard Result
+
+```go
+// Fold extracts the value
+output := result.Fold(
+    func(err error) string { return "Error: " + err.Error() },
+    func(n int) string { return fmt.Sprintf("Value: %d", n) },
+)(myResult)
+
+// GetOrElse with default
+value := result.GetOrElse(func(err error) int { return 0 })(myResult)
+```
+
+#### Idiomatic Result
+
+```go
+// Fold extracts the value (same API, different input)
+output := result.Fold(
+    func(err error) string { return "Error: " + err.Error() },
+    func(n int) string { return fmt.Sprintf("Value: %d", n) },
+)(value, err)
+
+// GetOrElse with default
+value := result.GetOrElse(func(err error) int { return 0 })(value, err)
+
+// Or use native Go pattern
+if err != nil {
+    value = 0
+}
+```
+
+### Integration with Existing Code
+
+#### Standard Result
+
+```go
+// Converting from (value, error) to Result
+func doSomething() (int, error) {
+    return 42, nil
+}
+
+result := result.TryCatchError(doSomething())
+
+// Converting back to (value, error)
+value, err := result.UnwrapError(result)
+```
+
+#### Idiomatic Result
+
+```go
+// Direct compatibility with (value, error)
+func doSomething() (int, error) {
+    return 42, nil
+}
+
+// No conversion needed!
+value, err := doSomething()
+value, err = result.Map(double)(value, err)
+```
+
+### Pipeline Composition
+
+#### Standard Result
+
+```go
+import F "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+
+output := F.Pipe3(
+    result.Right[error](10),
+    result.Map(double),
+    result.Chain(validate),
+    result.Map(format),
+)
+
+// Need to unwrap at the end
+value, err := result.UnwrapError(output)
+```
+
+#### Idiomatic Result
+
+```go
+import F "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function"
+
+value, err := F.Pipe3(
+    result.Right(10),
+    result.Map(double),
+    result.Chain(validate),
+    result.Map(format),
+)
+
+// Already in (value, error) form
+if err != nil {
+    // handle error
+}
+```
+
+## Detailed Design Comparison
+
+### Type System
+
+#### Standard Result
+
+**Strengths:**
+- Full algebraic data type semantics
+- Explicit Either[E, A] allows custom error types
+- Type-safe by construction
+- Clear separation of error and success channels
+
+**Weaknesses:**
+- Requires wrapper structs (memory overhead)
+- Less familiar to Go developers
+- Needs conversion functions for Go's standard library
+- More verbose type annotations
+
+#### Idiomatic Result
+
+**Strengths:**
+- Native Go idioms (value, error) pattern
+- Zero wrapper overhead
+- Seamless stdlib integration
+- Familiar to all Go developers
+- Terser syntax
+
+**Weaknesses:**
+- Error type fixed to `error`
+- Less explicit about Either semantics
+- Cannot use custom error types without conversion
+- Slightly less type-safe (can accidentally ignore bool/error)
+
+### Monad Laws
+
+Both packages satisfy the monad laws, but enforce them differently:
+
+#### Standard Result
+
+```go
+// Left identity: return a >>= f  ≡  f a
+assert.Equal(
+    result.Chain(f)(result.Of(a)),
+    f(a),
+)
+
+// Right identity: m >>= return  ≡  m
+assert.Equal(
+    result.Chain(result.Of[int])(m),
+    m,
+)
+
+// Associativity: (m >>= f) >>= g  ≡  m >>= (\x -> f x >>= g)
+assert.Equal(
+    result.Chain(g)(result.Chain(f)(m)),
+    result.Chain(func(x int) result.Result[int] {
+        return result.Chain(g)(f(x))
+    })(m),
+)
+```
+
+#### Idiomatic Result
+
+```go
+// Same laws, different syntax
+// Left identity
+a, aerr := result.Of(val)
+b, berr := result.Chain(f)(a, aerr)
+c, cerr := f(val)
+assert.Equal((b, berr), (c, cerr))
+
+// Right identity
+value, err := m()
+identity := result.Chain(result.Of[int])
+assert.Equal(identity(value, err), (value, err))
+
+// Associativity (same structure, tuple-based)
+```
+
+### Error Handling Philosophy
+
+#### Standard Result
+
+```go
+// Explicit error handling through types
+func processUser(id int) result.Result[User] {
+    user := fetchUser(id)  // Returns Result[User]
+
+    return F.Pipe2(
+        user,
+        result.Chain(validateUser),
+        result.Chain(enrichUser),
+    )
+}
+
+// Must explicitly unwrap
+user, err := result.UnwrapError(processUser(42))
+if err != nil {
+    log.Error(err)
+}
+```
+
+#### Idiomatic Result
+
+```go
+// Natural Go error handling
+func processUser(id int) (User, error) {
+    user, err := fetchUser(id)  // Returns (User, error)
+
+    return F.Pipe2(
+        (user, err),
+        result.Chain(validateUser),
+        result.Chain(enrichUser),
+    )
+}
+
+// Already in Go form
+user, err := processUser(42)
+if err != nil {
+    log.Error(err)
+}
+```
+
+### Composition Patterns
+
+#### Standard Result
+
+```go
+// Applicative composition
+import A "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/apply"
+
+type Config struct {
+    Host string
+    Port int
+    DB   string
+}
+
+config := A.SequenceT3(
+    result.FromPredicate(validHost, hostError)(host),
+    result.FromPredicate(validPort, portError)(port),
+    result.FromPredicate(validDB, dbError)(db),
+)(func(h string, p int, d string) Config {
+    return Config{h, p, d}
+})
+```
+
+#### Idiomatic Result
+
+```go
+// Direct tuple composition
+config, err := func() (Config, error) {
+    host, err := result.FromPredicate(validHost, hostError)(host)
+    if err != nil {
+        return Config{}, err
+    }
+
+    port, err := result.FromPredicate(validPort, portError)(port)
+    if err != nil {
+        return Config{}, err
+    }
+
+    db, err := result.FromPredicate(validDB, dbError)(db)
+    if err != nil {
+        return Config{}, err
+    }
+
+    return Config{host, port, db}, nil
+}()
+```
+
+## When to Use Each
+
+### Use Idiomatic Result When (Recommended for Most Cases):
+
+1. **Performance Matters** ⭐
+   - Any production service (web servers, APIs, microservices)
+   - Hot paths and high-throughput scenarios (>1000 req/s)
+   - Complex operation chains (**32x faster** ChainFirst)
+   - Real-world pipelines (**2-3x faster**)
+   - Memory-constrained environments (zero allocations)
+   - Want **1.2-6x speedup** across most operations
+
+2. **Go Integration** ⭐⭐
+   - Working with existing Go codebases
+   - Interfacing with standard library (native (value, error))
+   - Team familiar with Go, new to FP
+   - Want zero-cost functional abstractions
+   - Seamless error handling patterns
+
+3. **Pragmatic Functional Programming**
+   - Value performance AND functional patterns
+   - Prefer Go idioms over FP terminology
+   - Simpler function signatures
+   - Lower cognitive overhead
+   - Production-ready patterns
+
+4. **Real-World Applications**
+   - Web servers, REST APIs, gRPC services
+   - CLI tools and command-line applications
+   - Data processing pipelines
+   - Any latency-sensitive application
+   - Systems with tight performance budgets
+
+**Performance Gains:** Use idiomatic for 1.2-32x speedup depending on operation, with consistently lower allocations.
+
+### Use Standard Either/Result When:
+
+1. **Type Safety & Flexibility**
+   - Need explicit Either[E, A] with **custom error types**
+   - Building domain-specific error hierarchies
+   - Want to distinguish different error categories at type level
+   - Type system enforcement is critical
+
+2. **Advanced FP Features**
+   - Using Do-notation for complex monadic compositions
+   - Need operations like Flatten, Swap, Bind, Let
+   - Leveraging advanced type classes (Semigroup, Monoid)
+   - Want the complete FP toolkit
+
+3. **FP Expertise & Education**
+   - Porting code from other FP languages (Scala, Haskell)
+   - Teaching functional programming concepts
+   - Team has strong FP background
+   - Explicit algebraic data types preferred
+   - Code review benefits from FP terminology
+
+4. **Performance is Acceptable**
+   - After optimizations, Either is **quite fast** (1-5 ns/op for simple operations)
+   - Difference matters mainly at high scale (millions of operations)
+   - Code clarity > micro-optimizations
+   - Simple operations dominate your workload
+
+**Note:** Either package is now performant enough for most use cases. Choose it for features, not performance concerns.
+
+### Hybrid Approach
+
+You can use both packages together:
+
+```go
+import (
+    stdResult "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/result"
+    "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/result"
+)
+
+// Use standard for complex types
+type ValidationError struct {
+    Field string
+    Error string
+}
+
+func validateInput(input string) stdResult.Either[ValidationError, Input] {
+    // ... validation logic
+}
+
+// Convert to idiomatic for performance
+func processInput(input string) (Output, error) {
+    validated := validateInput(input)
+    value, err := stdResult.UnwrapError(
+        stdResult.MapLeft(toError)(validated),
+    )
+
+    // Use idiomatic for hot path
+    return result.Chain(heavyProcessing)(value, err)
+}
+```
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### From Standard to Idiomatic
+
+```go
+// Before (standard)
+import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/result"
+
+func process(x int) result.Result[int] {
+    return F.Pipe2(
+        result.Right[error](x),
+        result.Map(double),
+        result.Chain(validate),
+    )
+}
+
+// After (idiomatic)
+import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/result"
+
+func process(x int) (int, error) {
+    return F.Pipe2(
+        result.Right(x),
+        result.Map(double),
+        result.Chain(validate),
+    )
+}
+```
+
+### Key Changes
+
+1. **Type signatures**: `Result[T]` → `(T, error)`
+2. **Kleisli**: `func(A) Result[B]` → `func(A) (B, error)`
+3. **Operator**: `func(Result[A]) Result[B]` → `func(A, error) (B, error)`
+4. **Return values**: Function calls return tuples, not wrapped values
+5. **Pattern matching**: Same Fold/GetOrElse API, different inputs
+
+## Conclusion
+
+### Performance Summary (After Either Optimizations)
+
+The latest benchmark results show a clear pattern:
+
+**Both packages are now fast**, but idiomatic consistently leads:
+
+- **Constructors & Predicates**: Both ~1-2 ns/op (essentially tied)
+- **Core transformations**: Idiomatic **1.2-2.3x faster** (Map, Chain, Fold)
+- **Complex operations**: Idiomatic **3-32x faster** (BiMap, ChainFirst)
+- **Pipelines**: Idiomatic **2-3.4x faster** with fewer allocations
+- **Extraction**: Idiomatic **1.5-6x faster** (GetOrElse, Alt)
+
+**Key Insight:** The idiomatic package delivers **consistently better performance** across the board while maintaining zero-cost abstractions. The Either package is now fast enough for most use cases, but idiomatic is the performance winner.
+
+### Updated Recommendation Matrix
+
+| Scenario | Recommendation | Reason |
+|----------|---------------|--------|
+| **New Go project** | **Idiomatic** ⭐ | Natural Go patterns, 1.2-6x faster, better integration |
+| **Production services** | **Idiomatic** ⭐⭐ | 2-3x faster pipelines, zero allocations, proven performance |
+| **Performance critical** | **Idiomatic** ⭐⭐⭐ | 32x faster complex ops, minimal allocations |
+| **Microservices/APIs** | **Idiomatic** ⭐⭐ | High throughput, familiar patterns, better performance |
+| **CLI Tools** | **Idiomatic** ⭐ | Low overhead, Go idioms, fast |
+| Custom error types | Standard/Either | Need Either[E, A] with domain types |
+| Learning FP | Standard/Either | Clearer ADT semantics, educational |
+| FP-heavy codebase | Standard/Either | Consistency, Do-notation, full FP toolkit |
+| Library/Framework | Either way | Both are good; choose based on API style |
+
+### Real-World Impact
+
+For a service handling 10,000 requests/second with typical pipeline operations:
+
+```
+Either package:     280 ns/op × 10M req/day = 2,800 seconds = 46.7 minutes
+Idiomatic package:  116 ns/op × 10M req/day = 1,160 seconds = 19.3 minutes
+Time saved: 27.4 minutes of CPU time per day
+```
+
+At scale, this translates to:
+- Lower latency (2-3x faster response times for FP operations)
+- Reduced CPU usage (fewer cores needed)
+- Lower memory pressure (significantly fewer allocations)
+- Better resource utilization
+
+### Final Recommendation
+
+**For most Go projects:** Use **idiomatic packages**
+- 1.2-32x faster across operations
+- Native Go idioms
+- Zero-cost abstractions
+- Production-proven performance
+- Easier integration
+
+**For specialized needs:** Use **standard Either/Result**
+- Need custom error types Either[E, A]
+- Want Do-notation and advanced FP features
+- Porting from FP languages
+- Educational/learning context
+- FP-heavy existing codebase
+
+### Bottom Line
+
+After optimizations, both packages are excellent:
+
+- **Either/Result**: Fast enough for most use cases, feature-rich, type-safe
+- **Idiomatic**: **Faster in practice** (1.2-32x), native Go, zero-cost FP
+
+The idiomatic packages now represent the **best of both worlds**: full functional programming capabilities with Go's native performance and idioms. Unless you specifically need Either[E, A]'s custom error types or advanced FP features, **idiomatic is the recommended choice** for production Go services.
+
+Both maintain the core benefits of functional programming—choose based on whether you prioritize performance & Go integration (idiomatic) or type flexibility & FP features (either).

+# Idiomatic ReadIOResult Functions - Implementation Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+This document outlines the idiomatic functions that should be added to the `readerioresult` package to support Go's native `(value, error)` pattern, similar to what was implemented for `readerresult`.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+The idiomatic package `github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/readerioresult` defines:
+- `ReaderIOResult[R, A]` as `func(R) func() (A, error)` (idiomatic style)
+- This contrasts with `readerioresult.ReaderIOResult[R, A]` which is `Reader[R, IOResult[A]]` (functional style)
+

+	return function.Flow2(f, FromReaderIOResultI[R, B])
+}
+

+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+Create `readerioresult/idiomatic_test.go` with:
+- Tests for each idiomatic function
+- Success and error cases
+- Integration tests showing real-world usage patterns
+- Parallel execution tests where applicable
+- Complex scenarios combining multiple idiomatic functions
+
+## Implementation Priority
+
+1. **High Priority** - Core conversion and chain functions (1-6)
+2. **Medium Priority** - Bind functions for do-notation (11-16)
+3. **Low Priority** - Advanced applicative and error handling (7-10, 17-20)
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Seamless Integration** - Mix Go idiomatic code with functional pipelines
+2. **Gradual Adoption** - Convert code incrementally from idiomatic to functional
+3. **Interoperability** - Work with existing Go libraries that return `(value, error)`
+4. **Consistency** - Mirrors the successful pattern from `readerresult`
+
+## References
+
+- See `readerresult` package for similar implementations
+- See `idiomatic/readerresult` for the idiomatic types
+- See `idiomatic/ioresult` for IO-level idiomatic patterns

+// Package assert provides functional assertion helpers for testing.
+//
+// This package wraps testify/assert functions in a Reader monad pattern,
+// allowing for composable and functional test assertions. Each assertion
+// returns a Reader that takes a *testing.T and performs the assertion.
+//
+// # Data Last Principle
+//
+// This package follows the "data last" functional programming principle, where
+// the data being operated on comes as the last parameter in a chain of function
+// applications. This design enables several powerful functional programming patterns:
+//
+//  1. **Partial Application**: You can create reusable assertion functions by providing
+//     configuration parameters first, leaving the data and testing context for later.
+//
+//  2. **Function Composition**: Assertions can be composed and combined before being
+//     applied to actual data.
+//
+//  3. **Point-Free Style**: You can pass assertion functions around without immediately
+//     providing the data they operate on.
+//
+// The general pattern is:
+//
+//	assert.Function(config)(data)(testingContext)
+//	               ↑        ↑     ↑
+//	            expected  actual  *testing.T (always last)
+//
+// For single-parameter assertions:
+//
+//	assert.Function(data)(testingContext)
+//	                ↑     ↑
+//	              actual  *testing.T (always last)
+//
+// Examples of "data last" in action:
+//
+//	// Multi-parameter: expected value → actual value → testing context
+//	assert.Equal(42)(result)(t)
+//	assert.ArrayContains(3)(numbers)(t)
+//
+//	// Single-parameter: data → testing context
+//	assert.NoError(err)(t)
+//	assert.ArrayNotEmpty(arr)(t)
+//
+//	// Partial application - create reusable assertions
+//	isPositive := assert.That(func(n int) bool { return n > 0 })
+//	// Later, apply to different values:
+//	isPositive(42)(t)   // Passes
+//	isPositive(-5)(t)   // Fails
+//
+//	// Composition - combine assertions before applying data
+//	validateUser := func(u User) assert.Reader {
+//	    return assert.AllOf([]assert.Reader{
+//	        assert.Equal("Alice")(u.Name),
+//	        assert.That(func(age int) bool { return age >= 18 })(u.Age),
+//	    })
+//	}
+//	validateUser(user)(t)
+//
+// The package supports:
+//   - Equality and inequality assertions
+//   - Collection assertions (arrays, maps, strings)
+//   - Error handling assertions
+//   - Result type assertions
+//   - Custom predicate assertions
+//   - Composable test suites
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	func TestExample(t *testing.T) {
+//	    value := 42
+//	    assert.Equal(42)(value)(t)  // Curried style
+//
+//	    // Composing multiple assertions
+//	    arr := []int{1, 2, 3}
+//	    assertions := assert.AllOf([]assert.Reader{
+//	        assert.ArrayNotEmpty(arr),
+//	        assert.ArrayLength[int](3)(arr),
+//	        assert.ArrayContains(2)(arr),

+# Sequence Functions and Point-Free Style Programming

+
+## What is Point-Free Style?
+
+Point-free style (also called tacit programming) is a programming paradigm where function definitions don't explicitly mention their arguments. Instead, functions are composed using combinators and higher-order functions.
+
+**Traditional style (with points):**
+```go
+func double(x int) int {
+    return x * 2
+}
+```
+
+**Point-free style (without points):**
+```go
+var double = F.Flow2(
+    N.Mul(2),
+    identity,
+)
+```
+
+The key benefit is that point-free style emphasizes **what** the function does (its transformation) rather than **how** it manipulates data.
+
+## The Problem: Nested Function Application
+
+In functional programming with monadic types like `ReaderIOResult`, we often have nested structures where we need to apply parameters in a specific order. Consider:
+
+```go
+type ReaderIOResult[A any] = func(context.Context) func() Either[error, A]
+type Reader[R, A any] = func(R) A
+
+// A computation that produces a Reader
+type Computation = ReaderIOResult[Reader[Config, int]]
+// Expands to: func(context.Context) func() Either[error, func(Config) int]
+```
+
+To use this, we must apply parameters in this order:
+1. First, provide `context.Context`
+2. Then, execute the IO effect (call the function)
+3. Then, unwrap the `Either` to get the `Reader`
+4. Finally, provide the `Config`
+
+This creates several problems:
+
+### Problem 1: Awkward Parameter Order
+
+```go
+computation := getComputation()
+ctx := context.Background()
+cfg := Config{Value: 42}
+
+// Must apply in this specific order
+result := computation(ctx)()  // Get Either[error, Reader[Config, int]]
+if reader, err := either.Unwrap(result); err == nil {
+    value := reader(cfg)  // Finally apply Config
+    // use value
+}
+```
+
+The `Config` parameter, which is often known early and stable, must be provided last. This prevents partial application and reuse.
+
+### Problem 2: Cannot Partially Apply Dependencies
+
+```go
+// Want to do this: create a reusable computation with Config baked in
+// But can't because Config comes last!
+withConfig := computation(cfg)  // ❌ Doesn't work - cfg comes last, not first
+```
+
+### Problem 3: Breaks Point-Free Composition
+
+```go
+// Want to compose like this:
+var pipeline = F.Flow3(
+    getComputation,
+    applyConfig(cfg),  // ❌ Can't do this - Config comes last
+    processResult,
+)
+```
+
+## The Solution: Sequence Functions
+
+The `Sequence*` functions solve this by "flipping" or "sequencing" the nested structure, changing the order in which parameters are applied.
+
+### SequenceReader
+
+```go
+func SequenceReader[R, A any](
+    ma ReaderIOResult[Reader[R, A]]
+) reader.Kleisli[context.Context, R, IOResult[A]]
+```
+
+**Type transformation:**
+```
+From: func(context.Context) func() Either[error, func(R) A]
+To:   func(R) func(context.Context) func() Either[error, A]
+```
+
+Now `R` (the Reader's environment) comes **first**, before `context.Context`!
+
+### SequenceReaderIO
+
+```go
+func SequenceReaderIO[R, A any](
+    ma ReaderIOResult[ReaderIO[R, A]]
+) reader.Kleisli[context.Context, R, IOResult[A]]
+```
+
+**Type transformation:**
+```
+From: func(context.Context) func() Either[error, func(R) func() A]
+To:   func(R) func(context.Context) func() Either[error, A]
+```
+
+### SequenceReaderResult
+
+```go
+func SequenceReaderResult[R, A any](
+    ma ReaderIOResult[ReaderResult[R, A]]
+) reader.Kleisli[context.Context, R, IOResult[A]]
+```
+
+**Type transformation:**
+```
+From: func(context.Context) func() Either[error, func(R) Either[error, A]]
+To:   func(R) func(context.Context) func() Either[error, A]
+```
+
+## How Sequence Enables Point-Free Style
+
+### 1. Partial Application
+
+By moving the environment parameter first, we can partially apply it:
+
+```go
+type Config struct { Multiplier int }
+
+computation := getComputation()  // ReaderIOResult[Reader[Config, int]]
+sequenced := SequenceReader[Config, int](computation)
+
+// Partially apply Config
+cfg := Config{Multiplier: 5}
+withConfig := sequenced(cfg)  // ✅ Now we have ReaderIOResult[int]
+
+// Reuse with different contexts
+result1 := withConfig(ctx1)()
+result2 := withConfig(ctx2)()
+```
+
+### 2. Dependency Injection
+
+Inject dependencies early in the pipeline:
+
+```go
+type Database struct { ConnectionString string }
+
+makeQuery := func(ctx context.Context) func() Either[error, func(Database) string] {
+    // ... implementation
+}
+
+// Sequence to enable DI
+queryWithDB := SequenceReader[Database, string](makeQuery)
+
+// Inject database
+db := Database{ConnectionString: "localhost:5432"}
+query := queryWithDB(db)  // ✅ Database injected
+
+// Use query with any context
+result := query(context.Background())()
+```
+
+### 3. Point-Free Composition
+
+Build pipelines without mentioning intermediate values:
+
+```go
+var pipeline = F.Flow3(
+    getComputation,                    // ReaderIOResult[Reader[Config, int]]
+    SequenceReader[Config, int],       // func(Config) ReaderIOResult[int]
+    applyConfig(cfg),                  // ReaderIOResult[int]
+)
+
+// Or with partial application:
+var withConfig = F.Pipe1(
+    getComputation(),
+    SequenceReader[Config, int],
+)
+
+result := withConfig(cfg)(ctx)()
+```
+
+### 4. Reusable Computations
+
+Create specialized versions of generic computations:
+
+```go
+// Generic computation
+makeServiceInfo := func(ctx context.Context) func() Either[error, func(ServiceConfig) string] {
+    // ... implementation
+}
+
+sequenced := SequenceReader[ServiceConfig, string](makeServiceInfo)
+
+// Create specialized versions
+authService := sequenced(ServiceConfig{Name: "Auth", Version: "1.0"})
+userService := sequenced(ServiceConfig{Name: "User", Version: "2.0"})
+
+// Reuse across contexts
+authInfo := authService(ctx)()
+userInfo := userService(ctx)()
+```
+
+## Practical Benefits
+
+### 1. **Improved Testability**
+
+Inject test dependencies easily:
+
+```go
+// Production
+prodDB := Database{ConnectionString: "prod:5432"}
+prodQuery := queryWithDB(prodDB)
+
+// Testing
+testDB := Database{ConnectionString: "test:5432"}
+testQuery := queryWithDB(testDB)
+
+// Same computation, different dependencies
+```
+
+### 2. **Better Separation of Concerns**
+
+Separate configuration from execution:
+
+```go
+// Configuration phase (pure, no effects)
+cfg := loadConfig()
+computation := sequenced(cfg)
+
+// Execution phase (with effects)
+result := computation(ctx)()
+```
+
+### 3. **Enhanced Composability**
+
+Build complex pipelines from simple pieces:
+
+```go
+var processUser = F.Flow4(
+    loadUserConfig,           // ReaderIOResult[Reader[Database, User]]
+    SequenceReader,           // func(Database) ReaderIOResult[User]
+    applyDatabase(db),        // ReaderIOResult[User]
+    Chain(validateUser),      // ReaderIOResult[ValidatedUser]
+)
+```
+
+### 4. **Reduced Boilerplate**
+
+No need to manually thread parameters:
+
+```go
+// Without Sequence - manual threading
+func processWithConfig(cfg Config) ReaderIOResult[Result] {
+    return func(ctx context.Context) func() Either[error, Result] {
+        return func() Either[error, Result] {
+            comp := getComputation()(ctx)()
+            if reader, err := either.Unwrap(comp); err == nil {
+                value := reader(cfg)
+                // ... more processing
+            }
+            // ... error handling
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+// With Sequence - point-free
+var processWithConfig = F.Flow2(
+    getComputation,
+    SequenceReader[Config, Result],
+)
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Database Query with Configuration
+
+```go
+type QueryConfig struct {
+    Timeout  time.Duration
+    MaxRows  int
+}
+
+type Database struct {
+    ConnectionString string
+}
+
+// Without Sequence
+func executeQueryOld(cfg QueryConfig, db Database) ReaderIOResult[[]Row] {
+    return func(ctx context.Context) func() Either[error, []Row] {
+        return func() Either[error, []Row] {
+            // Must manually handle all parameters
+            // ...
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+// With Sequence
+func makeQuery(ctx context.Context) func() Either[error, func(Database) []Row] {
+    return func() Either[error, func(Database) []Row] {
+        return Right[error](func(db Database) []Row {
+            // Implementation
+            return []Row{}
+        })
+    }
+}
+
+var executeQuery = F.Flow2(
+    makeQuery,
+    SequenceReader[Database, []Row],
+)
+
+// Usage
+db := Database{ConnectionString: "localhost:5432"}
+query := executeQuery(db)
+result := query(ctx)()
+```
+
+### Example 2: Multi-Service Architecture
+
+```go
+type ServiceRegistry struct {
+    AuthService  AuthService
+    UserService  UserService
+    EmailService EmailService
+}
+
+// Create computations that depend on services
+makeAuthCheck := func(ctx context.Context) func() Either[error, func(ServiceRegistry) bool] {
+    // ... implementation
+}
+
+makeSendEmail := func(ctx context.Context) func() Either[error, func(ServiceRegistry) error] {
+    // ... implementation
+}
+
+// Sequence them
+authCheck := SequenceReader[ServiceRegistry, bool](makeAuthCheck)
+sendEmail := SequenceReader[ServiceRegistry, error](makeSendEmail)
+
+// Inject services once
+registry := ServiceRegistry{ /* ... */ }
+checkAuth := authCheck(registry)
+sendMail := sendEmail(registry)
+
+// Use with different contexts
+if isAuth, _ := either.Unwrap(checkAuth(ctx1)()); isAuth {
+    sendMail(ctx2)()
+}
+```
+
+### Example 3: Configuration-Driven Pipeline
+
+```go
+type PipelineConfig struct {
+    Stage1Config Stage1Config
+    Stage2Config Stage2Config
+    Stage3Config Stage3Config
+}
+
+// Define stages
+stage1 := SequenceReader[Stage1Config, IntermediateResult1](makeStage1)
+stage2 := SequenceReader[Stage2Config, IntermediateResult2](makeStage2)
+stage3 := SequenceReader[Stage3Config, FinalResult](makeStage3)
+
+// Build pipeline with configuration
+func buildPipeline(cfg PipelineConfig) ReaderIOResult[FinalResult] {
+    return F.Pipe3(
+        stage1(cfg.Stage1Config),
+        Chain(func(r1 IntermediateResult1) ReaderIOResult[IntermediateResult2] {
+            return stage2(cfg.Stage2Config)
+        }),
+        Chain(func(r2 IntermediateResult2) ReaderIOResult[FinalResult] {
+            return stage3(cfg.Stage3Config)
+        }),
+    )
+}
+
+// Execute pipeline
+cfg := loadPipelineConfig()
+pipeline := buildPipeline(cfg)
+result := pipeline(ctx)()
+```
+
+## Comparison: With and Without Sequence
+
+### Without Sequence (Imperative Style)
+
+```go
+func processUser(userID string) ReaderIOResult[ProcessedUser] {
+    return func(ctx context.Context) func() Either[error, ProcessedUser] {
+        return func() Either[error, ProcessedUser] {
+            // Get database
+            dbComp := getDatabase()(ctx)()
+            if dbReader, err := either.Unwrap(dbComp); err != nil {
+                return Left[ProcessedUser](err)
+            }
+            db := dbReader(dbConfig)
+            
+            // Get user
+            userComp := getUser(userID)(ctx)()
+            if userReader, err := either.Unwrap(userComp); err != nil {
+                return Left[ProcessedUser](err)
+            }
+            user := userReader(db)
+            
+            // Process user
+            processComp := processUserData(user)(ctx)()
+            if processReader, err := either.Unwrap(processComp); err != nil {
+                return Left[ProcessedUser](err)
+            }
+            result := processReader(processingConfig)
+            
+            return Right[error](result)
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### With Sequence (Point-Free Style)
+
+```go
+var processUser = func(userID string) ReaderIOResult[ProcessedUser] {
+    return F.Pipe3(
+        getDatabase,
+        SequenceReader[DatabaseConfig, Database],
+        applyConfig(dbConfig),
+        Chain(func(db Database) ReaderIOResult[User] {
+            return F.Pipe2(
+                getUser(userID),
+                SequenceReader[Database, User],
+                applyDB(db),
+            )
+        }),
+        Chain(func(user User) ReaderIOResult[ProcessedUser] {
+            return F.Pipe2(
+                processUserData(user),
+                SequenceReader[ProcessingConfig, ProcessedUser],
+                applyConfig(processingConfig),
+            )
+        }),
+    )
+}
+```
+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+1. **Sequence functions flip parameter order** to enable partial application
+2. **Dependencies come first**, making them easy to inject and test
+3. **Point-free style** becomes natural and readable
+4. **Composition** is enhanced through proper parameter ordering
+5. **Reusability** increases as computations can be specialized early
+6. **Testability** improves through easy dependency injection
+7. **Separation of concerns** is clearer (configuration vs. execution)
+
+## When to Use Sequence
+
+Use `Sequence*` functions when:
+
+- ✅ You want to partially apply environment/configuration parameters
+- ✅ You're building reusable computations with injected dependencies
+- ✅ You need to test with different dependency implementations
+- ✅ You're composing complex pipelines in point-free style
+- ✅ You want to separate configuration from execution
+- ✅ You're working with nested Reader-like structures
+
+Don't use `Sequence*` when:
+
+- ❌ The original parameter order is already optimal
+- ❌ You're not doing any composition or partial application
+- ❌ The added abstraction doesn't provide value
+- ❌ The code is simpler without it
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The `Sequence*` functions are powerful tools for enabling point-free style programming in Go. By flipping the parameter order of nested monadic structures, they make it easy to:
+
+- Partially apply dependencies
+- Build composable pipelines
+- Improve testability
+- Write more declarative code
+
+While they add a layer of abstraction, the benefits in terms of code reusability, testability, and composability make them invaluable for functional programming in Go.

+// TraverseReader transforms a ReaderIOResult computation by applying a Reader-based function,

+//
+// This function takes a Reader-based transformation (Kleisli arrow) and returns a function that
+// can transform a ReaderIOResult. The result allows you to provide the Reader's environment (R)
+// first, which then produces a ReaderIOResult that depends on the context.
+//
+// Type transformation:
+//
+//	From: ReaderIOResult[A]
+//	      = func(context.Context) func() Either[error, A]
+//
+//	With: reader.Kleisli[R, A, B]
+//	      = func(A) func(R) B

+//	To:   func(ReaderIOResult[A]) func(R) ReaderIOResult[B]
+//	      = func(ReaderIOResult[A]) func(R) func(context.Context) func() Either[error, B]
+//
+// This enables:
+//  1. Transforming values within a ReaderIOResult using environment-dependent logic
+//  2. Introducing new environment dependencies into existing computations
+//  3. Building composable pipelines where transformations depend on configuration or dependencies
+//  4. Point-free style composition with Reader-based transformations
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - R: The environment type that the Reader depends on
+//   - A: The input value type
+//   - B: The output value type
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - f: A Reader-based Kleisli arrow that transforms A to B using environment R
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A function that takes a ReaderIOResult[A] and returns a Kleisli[R, B],
+//     which is func(R) ReaderIOResult[B]
+//
+// The function preserves error handling and IO effects while adding the Reader environment dependency.
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	type Config struct {
+//	    Multiplier int
+//	}
+//
+//	// A Reader-based transformation that depends on Config
+//	multiply := func(x int) func(Config) int {
+//	    return func(cfg Config) int {
+//	        return x * cfg.Multiplier
+//	    }
+//	}
+//
+//	// Original computation that produces an int
+//	computation := Right[int](10)
+//
+//	// Apply TraverseReader to introduce Config dependency
+//	traversed := TraverseReader[Config, int, int](multiply)
+//	result := traversed(computation)
+//
+//	// Now we can provide the Config to get the final result
+//	cfg := Config{Multiplier: 5}
+//	ctx := context.Background()
+//	finalResult := result(cfg)(ctx)() // Returns Right(50)
+//
+// In point-free style, this enables clean composition:

+// Package statereaderioresult provides a functional programming abstraction that combines
+// four powerful concepts: State, Reader, IO, and Result monads, specialized for Go's context.Context.
+//
+// # StateReaderIOResult
+//
+// StateReaderIOResult[S, A] represents a computation that:
+//   - Manages state of type S (State)
+//   - Depends on a [context.Context] (Reader)
+//   - Performs side effects (IO)
+//   - Can fail with an [error] or succeed with a value of type A (Result)
+//
+// This is a specialization of StateReaderIOEither with:
+//   - Context type fixed to [context.Context]
+//   - Error type fixed to [error]
+//
+// This is particularly useful for:
+//   - Stateful computations with dependency injection using Go contexts
+//   - Error handling in effectful computations with state
+//   - Composing operations that need access to context, manage state, and can fail
+//   - Working with Go's standard context patterns (cancellation, deadlines, values)
+//
+// # Core Operations
+//
+// Construction:
+//   - Of/Right: Create a successful computation with a value
+//   - Left: Create a failed computation with an error
+//   - FromState: Lift a State into StateReaderIOResult
+//   - FromIO: Lift an IO into StateReaderIOResult
+//   - FromResult: Lift a Result into StateReaderIOResult
+//   - FromIOResult: Lift an IOResult into StateReaderIOResult
+//   - FromReaderIOResult: Lift a ReaderIOResult into StateReaderIOResult
+//
+// Transformation:
+//   - Map: Transform the success value
+//   - Chain: Sequence dependent computations (monadic bind)
+//   - Flatten: Flatten nested StateReaderIOResult
+//
+// Combination:
+//   - Ap: Apply a function in a context to a value in a context
+//
+// Context Access:
+//   - Asks: Get a value derived from the context
+//   - Local: Run a computation with a modified context
+//
+// Kleisli Arrows:
+//   - FromResultK: Lift a Result-returning function to a Kleisli arrow
+//   - FromIOK: Lift an IO-returning function to a Kleisli arrow
+//   - FromIOResultK: Lift an IOResult-returning function to a Kleisli arrow
+//   - FromReaderIOResultK: Lift a ReaderIOResult-returning function to a Kleisli arrow
+//   - ChainResultK: Chain with a Result-returning function
+//   - ChainIOResultK: Chain with an IOResult-returning function
+//   - ChainReaderIOResultK: Chain with a ReaderIOResult-returning function
+//
+// Do Notation (Monadic Composition):
+//   - Do: Start a do-notation chain
+//   - Bind: Bind a value from a computation
+//   - BindTo: Bind a value to a simple constructor
+//   - Let: Compute a derived value
+//   - LetTo: Set a constant value
+//   - ApS: Apply in sequence (for applicative composition)
+//   - BindL/ApSL/LetL/LetToL: Lens-based variants for working with nested structures
+//
+// # Example Usage
+//

+//	    RequestCount int
+//	    LastError    error
+//	}
+//
+//	// A computation that manages state, depends on context, performs IO, and can fail
+//	func processRequest(data string) statereaderioresult.StateReaderIOResult[AppState, string] {

+//	                // Update state
+//	                newState := AppState{RequestCount: state.RequestCount + 1}
+//	                // Perform IO operations
+//	                return result.Of(pair.MakePair(newState, "processed: " + data))
+//	            }
+//	        }
+//	    }
+//	}
+//
+//	// Compose operations using do-notation
+//	result := function.Pipe3(
+//	    statereaderioresult.Do[AppState](State{}),
+//	    statereaderioresult.Bind(
+//	        func(result string) func(State) State { return func(s State) State { return State{result: result} } },
+//	        func(s State) statereaderioresult.StateReaderIOResult[AppState, string] {
+//	            return processRequest(s.input)
+//	        },
+//	    ),
+//	    statereaderioresult.Map[AppState](func(s State) string { return s.result }),
+//	)
+//
+//	// Execute with initial state and context
+//	initialState := AppState{RequestCount: 0}
+//	ctx := context.Background()
+//	outcome := result(initialState)(ctx)() // Returns result.Result[pair.Pair[AppState, string]]
+//
+// # Context Integration
+//
+// This package is designed to work seamlessly with Go's context.Context:
+//
+//	// Using context values
+//	getUserID := statereaderioresult.Asks[AppState, string](func(ctx context.Context) statereaderioresult.StateReaderIOResult[AppState, string] {
+//	    userID, ok := ctx.Value("userID").(string)
+//	    if !ok {
+//	        return statereaderioresult.Left[AppState, string](errors.New("missing userID"))
+//	    }
+//	    return statereaderioresult.Of[AppState](userID)
+//	})
+//
+//	// Using context cancellation
+//	withTimeout := statereaderioresult.Local[AppState, string](func(ctx context.Context) context.Context {
+//	    ctx, _ = context.WithTimeout(ctx, 5*time.Second)
+//	    return ctx
+//	})
+//
+// # Monad Laws
+//
+// StateReaderIOResult satisfies the monad laws:
+//   - Left Identity: Of(a) >>= f ≡ f(a)
+//   - Right Identity: m >>= Of ≡ m
+//   - Associativity: (m >>= f) >>= g ≡ m >>= (x => f(x) >>= g)
+//
+// These laws are verified in the testing subpackage.

+// WithResource constructs a function that creates a resource with state management, operates on it,
+// and then releases the resource. This ensures proper resource cleanup even in the presence of errors,
+// following the Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII) pattern.
+//
+// The state is threaded through all operations: resource creation, usage, and release.
+//
+// The resource lifecycle with state management is:
+//  1. onCreate: Acquires the resource (may modify state)
+//  2. use: Operates on the resource with current state (provided as argument to the returned function)
+//  3. onRelease: Releases the resource with current state (called regardless of success or failure)
+//
+// Type parameters:
+//   - A: The type of the result produced by using the resource
+//   - S: The state type that is threaded through all operations
+//   - RES: The resource type
+//   - ANY: The type returned by the release function (typically ignored)
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - onCreate: A stateful computation that acquires the resource
+//   - onRelease: A stateful function that releases the resource, called with the resource and current state,
+//     executed regardless of errors
+//
+// Returns:
+//
+//	A function that takes a resource-using function and returns a StateReaderIOResult that manages
+//	the resource lifecycle with state

-// Monad implements the monadic operations for Either.
-// A monad combines the capabilities of Functor (Map), Applicative (Ap), and Chain (flatMap/bind).
-// This allows for sequential composition of computations that may fail.
+// Monad creates a lawful Monad instance for Either with fail-fast error handling.
 //
-// Example:
+// A monad combines the capabilities of four type classes:
+//   - Functor (Map): transform the Right value
+//   - Pointed (Of): lift a pure value into a Right
+//   - Applicative (Ap): apply wrapped functions (fails fast on first Left)
+//   - Chainable (Chain): sequence dependent computations (fails fast on first Left)
+//
+// The Either monad is left-biased and fails fast: once a Left is encountered,
+// no further computations are performed and the Left is propagated immediately.
+// This makes it ideal for error handling where you want to stop at the first error.
+//
+// This implementation satisfies all monad laws:
+//
+// Monad Laws:
+//   - Left Identity: Chain(f)(Of(a)) == f(a)
+//   - Right Identity: Chain(Of)(m) == m
+//   - Associativity: Chain(g)(Chain(f)(m)) == Chain(x => Chain(g)(f(x)))(m)
+//
+// Additionally, it satisfies all prerequisite laws from Functor, Apply, and Applicative.
+//
+// Relationship to Applicative:
+//
+// This Monad uses the standard fail-fast Applicative (see Applicative function).
+// In a lawful monad, Ap can be derived from Chain and Of:
+//
+//	Ap(fa)(ff) == Chain(f => Chain(a => Of(f(a)))(fa))(ff)
+//
+// The Either monad satisfies this property, making it a true lawful monad.
+//
+// When to use Monad vs Applicative:
+//   - Use Monad when you need sequential dependent operations (Chain)
+//   - Use Applicative when you only need independent operations (Ap, Map)
+//   - Both fail fast on the first error
+//
+// When to use Monad vs ApplicativeV:
+//   - Use Monad for sequential error handling (fail-fast)
+//   - Use ApplicativeV for parallel validation (error accumulation)
+//   - Note: There is no "MonadV" because Chain inherently fails fast
+//
+// Example - Sequential Dependent Operations:
 //
 //	m := either.Monad[error, int, string]()
+//
+//	// Chain allows each step to depend on the previous result
 //	result := m.Chain(func(x int) either.Either[error, string] {
 //	    if x > 0 {
 //	        return either.Right[error](strconv.Itoa(x))
 //	    }
-//	    return either.Left[string](errors.New("negative"))
+//	    return either.Left[string](errors.New("value must be positive"))
 //	})(either.Right[error](42))
 //	// result is Right("42")
+//
+//	// Fails fast on first error
+//	result2 := m.Chain(func(x int) either.Either[error, string] {
+//	    return either.Right[error](strconv.Itoa(x))
+//	})(either.Left[int](errors.New("initial error")))
+//	// result2 is Left("initial error") - Chain never executes
+//
+// Example - Combining with Applicative operations:
+//
+//	m := either.Monad[error, int, int]()
+//
+//	// Map transforms the value
+//	value := m.Map(N.Mul(2))(either.Right[error](21))
+//	// value is Right(42)

+//	// Ap applies wrapped functions (also fails fast)
+//	fn := either.Right[error](N.Add(1))
+//	result := m.Ap(value)(fn)
+//	// result is Right(43)
+//
+// Example - Real-world usage with error handling:

+// This is particularly useful for validation scenarios where you want to collect

+//
+// The function takes a semigroup for combining errors and returns a function that

+//
+// Behavior:
+//   - If both fab and fa are Left, combines their errors using sg.Concat
+//   - If only fab is Left, returns Left with fab's error
+//   - If only fa is Left, returns Left with fa's error
+//   - If both are Right, applies the function and returns Right with the result

+// This function provides a more convenient API for validation scenarios by currying
+// the arguments. It first takes the value to validate, then returns a function that
+// takes the validation function. This allows for a more natural composition style.
+//
+// Like [MonadApV], this accumulates all errors using the provided semigroup instead
+// of short-circuiting on the first error. This is the key difference from the
+// standard [Ap] function.
+//
+// Type Parameters:
+//   - B: The result type after applying the function
+//   - E: The error type (must support the semigroup operation)
+//   - A: The input type to the function
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - sg: A semigroup that defines how to combine two error values
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A function that takes a value Either[E, A] and returns an Operator that
+//     applies validation functions while accumulating errors
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	// Define a semigroup for combining validation errors
+//	type ValidationError struct {
+//	    Errors []string
+//	}
+//	errorSemigroup := semigroup.MakeSemigroup(func(e1, e2 ValidationError) ValidationError {
+//	    return ValidationError{Errors: append(e1.Errors, e2.Errors...)}
+//	})
+//
+//	// Create validators
+//	validatePositive := func(x int) either.Either[ValidationError, int] {
+//	    if x > 0 {
+//	        return either.Right[ValidationError](x)
+//	    }
+//	    return either.Left[int](ValidationError{Errors: []string{"must be positive"}})
+//	}
+//
+//	// Use ApV for validation
+//	applyValidation := either.ApV[int](errorSemigroup)
+//	value := either.Left[int](ValidationError{Errors: []string{"invalid input"}})
+//	validator := either.Left[func(int) int](ValidationError{Errors: []string{"invalid validator"}})
+//
+//	result := applyValidation(value)(validator)
+//	// Left(ValidationError{Errors: []string{"invalid validator", "invalid input"}})

+// Build applies an endomorphism to the zero value of type A, effectively using
+// the endomorphism as a builder pattern.
+//
+// # Endomorphism as Builder Pattern
+//
+// An endomorphism (a function from type A to type A) can be viewed as a builder pattern
+// because it transforms a value of a type into another value of the same type. When you
+// compose multiple endomorphisms together, you create a pipeline of transformations that
+// build up a final value step by step.
+//
+// The Build function starts with the zero value of type A and applies the endomorphism
+// to it, making it particularly useful for building complex values from scratch using
+// a functional composition of transformations.
+//
+// # Builder Pattern Characteristics
+//
+// Traditional builder patterns have these characteristics:
+//  1. Start with an initial (often empty) state
+//  2. Apply a series of transformations/configurations
+//  3. Return the final built object
+//
+// Endomorphisms provide the same pattern functionally:
+//  1. Start with zero value: var a A
+//  2. Apply composed endomorphisms: e(a)
+//  3. Return the transformed value
+//
+// # Type Parameters

+//
+//  1. **Composability**: Builders can be composed using monoid operations

+//  3. **Type Safety**: The type system ensures all transformations work on the same type
+//  4. **Reusability**: Individual builder functions can be reused and combined differently
+//  5. **Testability**: Each transformation can be tested independently
+//  6. **Declarative**: The composition clearly expresses the building process
+//
+// # Comparison with Traditional Builder Pattern
+//
+// Traditional OOP Builder:
+//
+//	config := NewConfigBuilder().
+//	    WithHost("localhost").
+//	    WithPort(8080).
+//	    WithTimeout(30 * time.Second).
+//	    Build()

+// Endomorphism Builder:

+//	    withHost("localhost"),
+//	    withPort(8080),
+//	    withTimeout(30 * time.Second),
+//	))
+//
+// Both achieve the same goal, but the endomorphism approach:
+//   - Uses pure functions instead of methods
+//   - Leverages algebraic properties (monoid) for composition
+//   - Allows for more flexible composition patterns
+//   - Integrates naturally with other functional programming constructs
+func Build[A any](e Endomorphism[A]) A {
+	var a A

+
+// ConcatAll combines multiple endomorphisms into a single endomorphism using composition.
+//
+// This function takes a slice of endomorphisms and combines them using the monoid's
+// concat operation (which is composition). The resulting endomorphism, when applied,
+// will execute all the input endomorphisms in RIGHT-TO-LEFT order (mathematical composition order).
+//
+// IMPORTANT: Execution order is RIGHT-TO-LEFT:
+//   - ConcatAll([]Endomorphism{f, g, h}) creates an endomorphism that applies h, then g, then f
+//   - This is equivalent to f ∘ g ∘ h in mathematical notation
+//   - The last endomorphism in the slice is applied first
+//
+// If the slice is empty, returns the identity endomorphism.
+//

+//
+//   - T: The type that the endomorphisms operate on

+// # Parameters
+//
+//   - es: A slice of endomorphisms to combine

+// FromSemigroup converts a semigroup into a Kleisli arrow for endomorphisms.
+//
+// This function takes a semigroup and returns a Kleisli arrow that, when given
+// a value of type A, produces an endomorphism that concatenates that value with
+// other values using the semigroup's Concat operation.
+//
+// The resulting Kleisli arrow has the signature: func(A) Endomorphism[A]
+// When called with a value 'x', it returns an endomorphism that concatenates
+// 'x' with its input using the semigroup's binary operation.
+//
+// # Data Last Principle
+//
+// FromSemigroup follows the "data last" principle by using function.Bind2of2,
+// which binds the second parameter of the semigroup's Concat operation.
+// This means that for a semigroup with Concat(a, b), calling FromSemigroup(s)(x)
+// creates an endomorphism that computes Concat(input, x), where the input data
+// comes first and the bound value 'x' comes last.
+//
+// For example, with string concatenation:
+//   - Semigroup.Concat("Hello", "World") = "HelloWorld"
+//   - FromSemigroup(semigroup)("World") creates: func(input) = Concat(input, "World")
+//   - Applying it: endomorphism("Hello") = Concat("Hello", "World") = "HelloWorld"
+//
+// This is particularly useful for creating endomorphisms from associative operations
+// like string concatenation, number addition, list concatenation, etc.
+//
+// Parameters:
+//   - s: A semigroup providing the Concat operation for type A
+//
+// Returns:
+//   - A Kleisli arrow that converts values of type A into endomorphisms
+//
+// Example:
+//
+//	import (
+//		"github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/endomorphism"
+//		"github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/semigroup"
+//	)
+//
+//	// Create a semigroup for integer addition
+//	addSemigroup := semigroup.MakeSemigroup(func(a, b int) int {

+//	// Convert it to a Kleisli arrow
+//	addKleisli := endomorphism.FromSemigroup(addSemigroup)
+//
+//	// Use the Kleisli arrow to create an endomorphism that adds 5
+//	// This follows "data last": the input data comes first, 5 comes last
+//	addFive := addKleisli(5)
+//
+//	// Apply the endomorphism: Concat(10, 5) = 10 + 5 = 15
+//	result := addFive(10) // result is 15
+//
+// The function uses function.Bind2of2 to partially apply the semigroup's Concat
+// operation, effectively currying it to create the desired Kleisli arrow while
+// maintaining the "data last" principle.
