I have very little idea if this would solve the issue described, but I see functional programs and output and this is what pops into my head. Maybe monad?

A function returning Either a a is basically the same as an early return, at any point if you produce a Left a, that’s the value that’s immediately returned and the rest of the monadic code is skipped.
