Feedback Thread: DIP 1034--Add a Bottom Type (reboot)--Community Review Round 1

[Piotr Mitana]

I personally like the Scala's concept to name the bottom type 
"Nothing". I would therefore suggest to similarily name it 
"nothing" in D as well.

To me it sounds more natural and self-explanatory. noreturn look 
more like a keyword also due to its similarity to return keyword.

noreturn suggests clearly that the function will not return, but 
it is natural only for this use of the bottom type, and as the 
DIP states, there are more uses.

Although returning nothing is a little bit less clear that 
noreturn, everyone knows void, so it has to be something 
different. And nothing[] looks much more in place then noreturn[].

So - pun intended - nothing is a thing! ;)
