The Maybe

The "Maybe" type is a way to handle situations where a value might or might not exist. It explicitly represents the presence of a value ("something") or its absence ("nothing"). Instead of using null or undefined, "Maybe" makes it clear whether data is available, encouraging safer, error-resistant code. It’s like a wrapper that indicates, “There might be a value here,” or “There isn’t,” allowing developers to handle both cases systematically and avoid unexpected errors. Essentially, "Maybe" improves readability and reliability by clearly expressing optionality.
