Add timed variant for IO[Unit]
Hello folks!
I'm not sure about the solution but I encountered this "problem" enough times to submit this PR.
Basically when you want to use timed on an IO[Unit] you have to map the result to just keep the left side of the tuple.
It would be nice to have a method to this directly within IO.
My proposal here introduces breaking changes, other more conservative solutions would be to use a dedicated name for this case such as:
-
timed_ -
timedIgnore(with or withoutand) -
timedLortimedRit depends on which side you see it -
timedOnly
Let me know what do you think! Thank :)
There's functor syntax in cats.syntax.all that lets you write myUnitIO.timed._1F to achieve the same, would that work for you? I'm no maintainer and this is no direct opinion on the PR, just wondered whether you are aware as it's syntactically very close to what you suggest.
