KEEP VS Fuel

`Either foo()` and `Foo foo() throws MyError` and are pretty much isomorphic.

Nice. So for example, it looks like Kotlin has a nearly identical feature at the language level which will be optimizable when Valhalla ships: https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/master/notes/value-class...

> In the future, in a Valhalla-capable JVM, JVM primitive classes will enable efficient representation of Kotlin value classes with an arbitrary number of underlying fields on JVM.

Most other languages agree that checked exceptions are not good by not having them.

As for alternatives, Try/Result and similar monads have decent adoption even in Java, but personally I quite like the Kotlin philosophy [1] to not have generic error containers and either use runtime exceptions or make failures of the return type.

You can use explicit API mode, then everything needs explicit visibility

That kinda reminds me of Fuel https://github.com/kittinunf/fuel

But when I started to use it, I faced an issue. In a traditional Maven project, the workaround would be to add the dependency in the available version, and thus override the default one. Yet, it doesn't work with Kotlin Scripting - it's not possible to override versions in the same way.
