The ???? operator (programming.dev)

I found this funny.

The context is as explained by @laund@hachyderm.io

the issue is that you can't return from inside a closure, since the closure might be called later/elsewhere

and this post was the asnwer to the question by @antonok@fosstodon.org

you got me curious what the record for the longest ? operator chain on crates.io is

You can also do map_err, which is a bit cleaner while keeping the mapping obvious. If you really need to do some logic on error, extracting that to the calling function is often better.
