It’s Result and Option that are the primary wrappers. Result is for Errors, and Option is for nullables. If you consider it that way, the “issues” with unwrap are identical to other languages when errors and nulls aren’t properly handled. permalink fedilink source parent [–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 16 points 9 months ago I reckon the person you're replying to knows exactly what unwrap is, because the last big famous Cloudflare outage was caused by it.
