Koda

Really nice project! I’ve been looking for something like this, and typically end up building a very minimal version of it for projects. Are you looking for help or contributors?…

Now this is an answer I was waiting for. Thank you for explaining the real benefits of sticking to koda style. I guess this would be obvious if I used statically typed languages…

Why would you write Python like it’s Rust? I really fundamentally do not understand the purpose. Ain’t `is Null` checks and try except good enough?

Yeah this sort of thing is necessary in statically typed languages like Rust and C++ but in Python (and e.g. Typescript) you can just use anonymous type unions like `str | None`.…

I wanted to ask the same thing: Couldn't we just use Optional and None for this? So the point of using Koda is to communicate intent (functions that don't throw exceptions), and…

Why would you write Python like it’s Rust? I really fundamentally do not understand the purpose. Ain’t `is Null` checks and try except good enough?

I let myself do a little bit of thinking and I guess this might be helpful when you are doing functional style pipes/chains but you can wrap the whole chain into a try except…

I want a similar toolkit that lifts over the Ruby/Groovy/Kotlin style functions like countBy, groupBy, sortBy, collate, etc etc. Programming in Python is such a chore without…

Nice. One question I have is does the compose operator preserve error messages, allow you to pinpoint which function raised an exception etc? That's the one issue I have w/ the…

So far I've been able to follow them. If you `raise` an exception during one of the functions that's used in a compose the traceback will mention the function that failed (I'm…

A similar "framework", very robust and used in production systems, is dry-python's one[0][1]. The approach taken is a bit different I think, since they rely heavily on `mypy`…

dry-python has a lot of cool stuff. I encourage people to check it out. Koda has a slightly different approach in that it's meant to be a little simpler than returns, and to work…

There is https://github.com/lauriat/funct which has some of those higher level functions.
