By the way, in Crystal we currently have:

class Nil

You can use it like this:

foo.try &.bar
foo.try &.bar.try &.baz

Not the nicest thing, but it's implemented as a library solution. Then
you could have syntactic sugar for that.

Again, I don't see why this is related to monads. Maybe because monads
are boxes that can perform functions, anything which involves a
transform can be related to a monad. :-P

It's like in Ruby with ActiveSupport:

a = foo.try(:bar).try(:x)
