Support for asynchronous operations

[mobily]

@jsec @WidgetKing @alexn-s hey there! 👋 this is definitely on my roadmap, sneak peek: I'm currently working on three following modules:

• Async (equivalent to fp-ts Task)
• AsyncResult (TaskEither)
• AsyncData

all of them will be published in one of the subsequent releases (it takes a vast amount of time to adjust ReScript to TS in this particular case tho)

i just looked for alternatives for fp-ts and about 1/3 of my code is async (playwright, puppeteer, ...) and i need a TaskEither equivalent. sadly purify-ts does not have compose/ flow/ pipe functions but async support. a mix between ts-belt and purify would be quite awesome.

besides that i really like ts-belt. it is intuitive and not as cumbersome & overkill as fp-ts

Thanks for the update @mobily! And thank you for all the time and effort you put into this library.
Take your time. We know good things come to those who wait.

@stychu I suppose it will be published by the end of this month, the implementation of all Async modules is done (tested internally on a mid-sized project), and at the moment I'm working on a brand new documentation site :) sorry, that you need to wait for a new version so long!

+1 from me.

My personal preference for this would be a third kind of monad. A ts-belt equivalent of fp-ts's TaskEither would plug what at least to me feels like a major hole.

How long till this will be published ?👌

I suggest reading the following issue: #51 still working on the docs, nevertheless, I feel the next version is ready for wider testing 🚀
