In theory I want ranges + nullable to be smarter but; idk I dont 
know what to call it

No idea, I just code like it's C and it usually works great. C 
oriented design maybe?

You can do pretty much the exact same stuff in Java using the 
Stream API. You don't need a functional language

I tried to do something like that with this either monad 
implementation. Have a look if you’re interested

Why does either have space for both values? Is that important?

```d
struct Either(T,S){
   T t;
   S s;
   bool which;
   ...
```

Shouldnt this by an alias of sumtype?
is either to pair as symtype is to tuple?

Conceptually, `Either` is a tagged union/ sumtype similar to 
Nullable, but instead of the value `null` to signal that 
something went wrong, you can define an arbitrary error type, 
i.e. a string which is the error messages.
