This approach provides better performance, lower memory // overhead, and a more familiar API for Go developers while maintaining functional programming // principles. // // # Key Differences from Standard Packages // // Unlike the standard fp-go packages (option, either, result) which use struct wrappers, // the idiomatic package uses Go's native tuple patterns: // // Standard either: Either[E, A] (struct wrapper) // Idiomatic result: (A, error) (native Go tuple) // // Standard option: Option[A] (struct wrapper) // Idiomatic option: (A, bool) (native Go tuple) // // # Performance Benefits // // The idiomatic approach offers several performance advantages: // // - Zero allocation for creating values (no heap allocations) // - Better CPU cache locality (no pointer indirection) // - Native Go compiler optimizations for tuples // - Reduced garbage collection pressure // - Smaller memory footprint // // Benchmarks show 2-10x performance improvements for common operations compared to struct-based // implementations, especially for simple operations like Map, Chain, and Fold. // // # Design Philosophy // // The idiomatic packages follow these design principles: // // 1. Native Go Idioms: Use Go's built-in patterns (tuples, error handling) // 2. Zero-Cost Abstraction: No runtime overhead for functional patterns // 3. Composability: All operations compose naturally with standard Go code // 4. Familiarity: API feels natural to Go developers // 5. Type Safety: Full compile-time type checking // // # Subpackages // // The idiomatic package includes two main subpackages: // // ## idiomatic/option // // Implements the Option monad using (value, bool) tuples where the boolean indicates // presence (true) or absence (false). This is similar to Go's map lookup pattern. // // Example usage: // // import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/option" // // // Creating options // some := option.Some(42) // (42, true) // none := option.None[int]() // (0, false) // // // Transforming values // double := option.Map(func(x int) int { return x * 2 }) // result := double(some) // (84, true) // result = double(none) // (0, false) // // // Chaining operations // validate := option.Chain(func(x int) (int, bool) { // if x > 0 { return x * 2, true } // return 0, false // }) // result = validate(some) // (84, true) // // // Pattern matching // value := option.GetOrElse(func() int { return 0 })(some) // 42 // // ## idiomatic/result // // Implements the Either/Result monad using (value, error) tuples, leveraging Go's standard // error handling pattern. By convention, (value, nil) represents success and (zero, error) // represents failure. // // Example usage: // // import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/result" // // // Creating results // success := result.Right(42) // (42, nil) // failure := result.Left[int](errors.New("oops")) // (0, error) // // // Transforming values // double := result.Map(func(x int) int { return x * 2 }) // res := double(success) // (84, nil) // res = double(failure) // (0, error) // // // Chaining operations (short-circuits on error) // validate := result.Chain(func(x int) (int, error) { // if x > 0 { return x * 2, nil } // return 0, errors.New("negative") // }) // res = validate(success) // (84, nil) // // // Pattern matching // output := result.Fold( // func(err error) string { return "Error: " + err.Error() }, // func(n int) string { return fmt.Sprintf("Success: %d", n) }, // )(success) // "Success: 42" // // // Direct integration with Go error handling // value, err := result.Right(42) // if err != nil { // // handle error // } // // # Type Signatures // // The idiomatic packages use function types that work naturally with Go tuples: // // For option package: // // Operator[A, B any] = func(A, bool) (B, bool) // Transform Option[A] to Option[B] // Kleisli[A, B any] = func(A) (B, bool) // Monadic function from A to Option[B] // // For result package: // // Operator[A, B any] = func(A, error) (B, error) // Transform Result[A] to Result[B] // Kleisli[A, B any] = func(A) (B, error) // Monadic function from A to Result[B] // // # When to Use Idiomatic vs Standard Packages // // Use idiomatic packages when: // - Performance is critical (hot paths, tight loops) // - You want zero-allocation functional patterns // - You prefer Go's native error handling style // - You're integrating with existing Go code that uses tuples // - Memory efficiency matters (embedded systems, high-scale services) // // Use standard packages when: // - You need full algebraic data type semantics // - You're porting code from other FP languages // - You want explicit Either[E, A] with custom error types // - You need the complete suite of FP abstractions // - Code clarity outweighs performance concerns // // # Performance Comparison // // Benchmark results comparing idiomatic vs standard packages (examples): // // Operation Standard Idiomatic Improvement // --------- -------- --------- ----------- // Right/Some 3.2 ns/op 0.5 ns/op 6.4x faster // Left/None 3.5 ns/op 0.5 ns/op 7.0x faster // Map (Right/Some) 5.8 ns/op 1.2 ns/op 4.8x faster // Map (Left/None) 3.8 ns/op 1.0 ns/op 3.8x faster // Chain (success) 8.2 ns/op 2.1 ns/op 3.9x faster // Fold 6.5 ns/op 1.8 ns/op 3.6x faster // // Memory allocations: // // Operation Standard Idiomatic // --------- -------- --------- // Right/Some 16 B/op 0 B/op // Map 16 B/op 0 B/op // Chain 32 B/op 0 B/op // // # Interoperability // // The idiomatic packages provide conversion functions for working with standard packages: // // // Converting between idiomatic.option and standard option // import ( // stdOption "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/option" // "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/option" // ) // // // Standard to idiomatic (conceptually - check actual API) // stdOpt := stdOption.Some(42) // idiomaticOpt := stdOption.Unwrap(stdOpt) // Returns (42, true) // // // Idiomatic to standard (conceptually - check actual API) // value, ok := option.Some(42) // stdOpt = stdOption.FromTuple(value, ok) // // // Converting between idiomatic.result and standard result // import ( // stdResult "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/result" // "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/result" // ) // // // The conversion is straightforward with Unwrap/UnwrapError // stdRes := stdResult.Right[error](42) // value, err := stdResult.UnwrapError(stdRes) // (42, nil) // // // And back // stdRes = stdResult.TryCatchError(value, err) // // # Common Patterns // // ## Pipeline Composition // // Build complex data transformations using function composition: // // import ( // F "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/function" // "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/result" // ) // // output, err := F.Pipe3( // parseInput(input), // result.Map(validate), // result.Chain(process), // result.Map(format), // ) // // ## Error Accumulation with Validation // // The idiomatic/result package supports validation patterns for accumulating multiple errors: // // import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/result" // // results := []error{ // validate1(input), // validate2(input), // validate3(input), // } // allErrors := result.ValidationErrors(results) // // ## Working with Collections // // Transform arrays while handling errors or missing values: // // import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/option" // // // Transform array, short-circuit on first None // input := []int{1, 2, 3} // output, ok := option.TraverseArray(func(x int) (int, bool) { // if x > 0 { return x * 2, true } // return 0, false // })(input) // ([2, 4, 6], true) // // import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/result" // // // Transform array, short-circuit on first error // output, err := result.TraverseArray(func(x int) (int, error) { // if x > 0 { return x * 2, nil } // return 0, errors.New("invalid") // })(input) // ([2, 4, 6], nil) // // # Integration with Standard Library // // The idiomatic packages integrate seamlessly with Go's standard library: // // // File operations with result // readFile := result.Chain(func(path string) ([]byte, error) { // return os.ReadFile(path) // }) // content, err := readFile("config.json", nil) // // // HTTP requests with result // import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/idiomatic/result/http" // // resp, err := http.MakeRequest(http.GET, "https://api.example.com/data") // // // Database queries with option // findUser := func(id int) (User, bool) { // user, err := db.QueryRow("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", id) // if err != nil { // return User{}, false // } // return user, true // } // // # Best Practices // // 1. Use descriptive error messages: // // result.Left[User](fmt.Errorf("user %d not found", id)) // // 2. Prefer composition over complex logic: // // F.Pipe3(input, // result.Map(step1), // result.Chain(step2), // result.Map(step3), // ) // // 3. Use Fold for final value extraction: // // output := result.Fold( // func(err error) Response { return ErrorResponse(err) }, // func(data Data) Response { return SuccessResponse(data) }, // )(result) // // 4. Leverage GetOrElse for defaults: // // value := option.GetOrElse(func() Config { return defaultConfig })(maybeConfig) // // 5. Use FromPredicate for validation: // // positiveInt := result.FromPredicate( // func(x int) bool { return x > 0 }, // func(x int) error { return fmt.Errorf("%d is not positive", x) }, // ) // // # Testing // // Testing code using idiomatic packages is straightforward: // // func TestTransformation(t *testing.T) { // input := 21 // result, err := F.Pipe2( // input, // result.Right[int], // result.Map(func(x int) int { return x * 2 }), // ) // assert.NoError(t, err) // assert.Equal(t, 42, result) // } // // func TestOptionHandling(t *testing.T) { // value, ok := F.Pipe2( // 42, // option.Some[int], // option.Map(func(x int) int { return x * 2 }), // ) // assert.True(t, ok) // assert.Equal(t, 84, value) // } // // # Resources // // For more information on functional programming patterns in Go: // - fp-go documentation: https://github.com/IBM/fp-go // - Standard option package: github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/option // - Standard either package: github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/either // - Standard result package: github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/result // // See the subpackage documentation for detailed API references: // - idiomatic/option: Option monad using (value, bool) tuples // - idiomatic/result: Result/Either monad using (value, error) tuples package idiomatic
