Difference between try and sequence

[smachave]

I've read the documentation for the two several times, and the differences that I've spotted are:

1. try does not have a finally block
2. next is not used within a try block

How far am I right, and are there any more differences?

Hi 👋

1. `try` does not have a `finally` block

That is correct and it's because try is synchronous.

2. `next` is not used within a `try` block

It can be but it won't be awaited so accessing a state right after a next call will return the previous value.

How far am I right, and are there any more differences?

The fundamental difference is that try is synchronous whereas sequence is asynchronous. In try results (Result(error, value)) are unboxed, in sequence promises (Promise(error, value)) are awaited and unboxed as well.

Thank you for the well worded answer.

No longer relevant, as these constructs were removed in v0.17.0.
