Proposing new syntax for zero-cost unwrapping options/results

What about

let getUser = async (id) => {
  lets Ok(user) = await fetchUser(id)
  lets Ok(decodedUser) = decodeUser(user)
  Console.log(`Got user ${decodedUser.name}!`)
  lets Ok() = await ensureUserActive(decodedUser)
  Ok(decodedUser)
}

• No symbols
• Is a proper word
• “s” is reminiscent of “throwS”, but emphasizing the prevailing importance of the passing part rather than the throwing one, kind of a counterpart of “throwS”, as in “lets the value pass” rather than emphasizing “throws an error”
• Or maybe reminiscent of “[S]witch” that this hides

Or

let getUser = async (id) => {
  let/ Ok(user) = await fetchUser(id)
  let/ Ok(decodedUser) = decodeUser(user)
  Console.log(`Got user ${decodedUser.name}!`)
  let/ Ok() = await ensureUserActive(decodedUser)
  Ok(decodedUser)
}

• Is very clear – the dash is a much cleaner symbol than “?” which is very muddy, one of the muddiest tbh
• Let’s you focus on the meaningful text to the right of it easier while reminding us that the meta is let
• The dash is very visible and lets you see all such lets in the code immediately
• Is on the same key as “?” on many keyboards, but doesn’t require you pressing Shift all the time

Or

let getUser = async (id) => {
  let| Ok(user) = await fetchUser(id)
  let| Ok(decodedUser) = decodeUser(user)
  Console.log(`Got user ${decodedUser.name}!`)
  let| Ok() = await ensureUserActive(decodedUser)
  Ok(decodedUser)
}

• Same pros as “/”, but reminds of how “|” is used in such languages, and, again, of the switch syntax that it’s “hiding”
• But it needs you holding Shift…
