Can you show me _any_ code using Result-like error handling that had
problems that made people as smart as the C++ committee take so much time
just to design a variant? Because any Rust programmer will design a variant
like this:
enum Either {
  Left(A),
  Right(B)
}
What happened here? I designed a variant in less than 10 seconds as robust
as the C++ variant which required effort by many people and wasn't designed
nearly as fast as this one.
You didn't design anything.  It's built in
to the language and has addition restrictions
which outright forbid the cases that make variant
hard in C++.
