Is the operation async?
├─ NO: Does it involve errors?
│ ├─ YES → Either<Error, Value>
│ └─ NO: Might value be missing?
│ ├─ YES → Option<Value>
│ └─ NO → Just use the value
└─ YES: Does it involve errors?
├─ YES → TaskEither<Error, Value>
└─ NO: Might value be missing?
├─ YES → TaskOption<Value>
└─ NO → Task<Value>// Core

|---|---|
| Wrap nullable | O.fromNullable(value) |
| Default value | O.getOrElse(() => default) |
| Transform if exists | O.map(fn) |
| Chain optionals | O.flatMap(fn) |
| Wrap try/catch | E.tryCatch(() => risky(), toError) |
| Wrap async | TE.tryCatch(() => fetch(url), toError) |
| Run pipe | pipe(value, fn1, fn2, fn3) |
// Option
pipe(maybe, O.match(

))
// Either
pipe(result, E.match(
