Returns: Meaningful, Typed, and Safe Function Returns

The `returns` library (version 0.26.0) is a functional programming toolkit for Python, enhancing type-safety and explicit error handling. It allows developers to make functions return meaningful, typed, and safe values like `Result`, `Maybe`, and `IO` monads, promoting composable and testable code. The project is actively maintained with frequent releases, often every few months, introducing new features and compatibility updates.
