Why optional is my new favorite feature in C++

I recently came across the feature of optional in c++, and it is a feature I have liked so much, that I decided to make a video about it, as it allows me to write more clear and easy-to-understand functions.

Optional doesnt replace result though, is there something in c++ that mimicls rust's result?

That is true, as optional doesn't return an error type, only whether or not there is a value. To my knowledge, this is the closest I have seen so far, but I would not be suprised if there are even better solutions.
