Improve Your Swift Closures with Result

Dealing with asynchronous tasks is an everyday developer task, and Swift developers mostly use closures for this type of work. Their syntax is clear and expressive, but handling a closure may be error-prone when we don’t adequately represent the results of an asynchronous operation. Result-oriented programming aims to reduce that complexity by providing a simple way to represent these results. This article will go through the basics of closures and show you how to use Result in your code.

All examples can be found in this Github repository.

Closures are self-contained blocks of code. They can be passed around and used in your code as any other object. In fact, closures have types, in the same way Int or a String are types. What makes them different is that they can have input parameters and they must provide a return type.
