Boston Dynamic has come out with a new autonomous robot, Stretch. It is designed specifically for warehouse work.
As impressive as the arm and movement (no legs) system is, more so is the “Perception Mast” that allows it to scan an entire room to know where everything is.

I knew about Swift new Result type keyword, but did not understand it until reading Paul's posting.
Yes, you could wrap a tuple around any number of optionals, but Result has some cool features that makes it easier (and consistent).
