A couple of JavaScript tricks using promise syntax:

1. We can transform a try/catch block into a one-liner (also means `result` return type is inferred properly), 
2. We can transform a `fetch` → `.json` chain into a one-liner

`.then` and `.catch` are still cool (sometimes)!

If you wanna avoid try/catch and are feeling a lil 🦀y, you can write a util to turn the data/error into a tuple. You can squeeze some really good type inference out of it too. E.g.

well the second one, unless you actually need to check response status before doing .json()? 🤔

Agree! Promises are almost monadic, might as well use the good parts. I do wish result and maybe types were native.

I'm so used to try/catch that I never think about then/catch

Love this, and can not understand people that only use one or the other like a cult
