I love it. I didn't know. It's going to take a while to make this a pervasive feature of most Erlang codebases, but it seems like a good feature to introduce.

I know there are monad libraries using parse transforms and/or list comprehensions, but I often found their use is frowned upon in the Erlang community. I kind of assumed the GP in this thread would reject them, given their negative opinion on macros.

I was in a similar situation, ended up relying on libs that used parse transforms a lot and then found out most of my usage could have been replaced by the new `maybe` expression.
