Is it just me or Unit and UInt are too similar and too easy to misread

Considering you almost never type out the

Unit

type I am not sure how relevant this is. Also your IDE will yell at you if you ever mix them up. But I do agree, they look similar.

I use Unit pretty often when working with RxJava, it serves as a dummy signal value when I can't / don't want to use Completable. And when interoping with Java. And when writing libraries, I like function return types to be explicit, including Unit.

Totally agree, in pure-Rx world explicit

Unit

is much more popular than

Int

or any other type. 😄

Y'all need to switch to coroutines 😄 :kotlin-flag: :coroutine: :troll:

Exactly! No more Completables 👍

Please consider filing an issue on http://kotl.in/issue with sample code and a screenshot of how it looks in your IDE. Maybe something can be done on IDE side to disambiguate the types more clearly.

Typealias? if it bothers you a lot
