Is Unit the equivalent of Java's Void rather than lowercase void?

[spand]

It serves as both

[karelpeeters]

Kind of, Java Void doesn't have an instance but it allows null so that's kind of the single instance.

I think it’s the equivalent for kotlin’s Void?

[Luca Nicoletti]

a function which return Nothing can’t return, only throws or keep working

[Luca Nicoletti]

Sorry, meant Unit?

[Luca Nicoletti]

Unit is mapped to Void in Java

[Luca Nicoletti]
