I'd prefer an api like this:

const [result, error] = attempt(() => someFunc());

This way you don't have to wrap all your functions.

That seems a lot more ergonomic.

I can already see someone copy-pasting `wrap(myFunction)(args)` everywhere :-)

I think the most usual way in a project is to use this style. Wrap is a simple way to let you get Result type without refactoring your implementation.

Then I'm tightly coupling all my code to this library. I would prefer to write javascript like normal and not import a library anytime I author a function.
have you look at ts-fp, it is ts not js, but still.
