Additionally to @kokolegorille s list:

• ok_jose
• auto_pipe
• and there was at least another one which name I can’t remember…

With witchcraft, it would look like this…

data
>>> load_shift_aggregate/1
>>> verify_shift_can_be_edited/1
>>> create_update_command/1
>>> update_shift_aggregate/1
>>> save_updated_shift_aggregate/1
>>> load_updated_shift_entity/1
>>> return_shift_entity/1

But there are more operators… https://github.com/witchcrafters/witchcraft#operators

Hello and bienvenue…

You don’t like to use with?

There is also witchcraft, which might have a similar purpose.

There is also ok library, by @Crowdhailer

Maybe I’m wrong, but isn’t the catching thrown error anti-pattern?:

• Avoid using exceptions for control-flow
• Avoid working with invalid data

Also you can use the result library, for example this a way.
