I'm glad to see this idea getting some traction again. I haven't used Go much in the last few years, but I started writing playing around with a similar idea back in 2016 when I was working on a small compiler for a configuration management tool, and later put together a [small stand-alone proof of concept library](https://github.com/rebeccaskinner/gofpher) as part of a [talk](https://speakerdeck.com/rebeccaskinner/monadic-error-handlin...).
At the time, I remember finding FP in go surprisingly ergonomic. Implementing the library to support it was a pain since the type system wasn't expressive enough to prevent everything from devolving into a pile of untyped reflection, but it was reasonably easy to keep that an implementation detail. On the whole, I felt like go would have lent itself well to the "dash of FP for flavor" style of programming that seems to be gaining popularity these days. Unfortunately, in 2017 at least, the Go community seemed to have very little interest in the idea.
I still have a fondness for Go. It always felt nice to use. If the language features have caught up to the point where a robust library like this is feasible, and the communities attitude has shifted, I might take another look at the language.
Big Scala vibes here, see also [1].

A simple alternative is the combination of:
- https://github.com/samber/lo
- https://github.com/samber/mo
The split is also nice as you can choose to just use the generic convenience functions from lo without the more FP related things from mo.

The library for TypeScript that this is influenced by is here:

Interesting how both languages with this library converge to a similar syntax, due to heavy use of functions.
if it have to be in FP style, this one is better

still prefer non-FP part tho
