`void` in C does not have a value. You can't make a variable and put a void in it because there is no such object as "void".

[Ericson2314]

That is an artificial restriction if C. Also see how ! In Rust is also loosing it's artificial restrictions.

Indeed, and there has been some talk of removing this restriction in C++ because it makes certain kinds of metaprogramming a lot more cumbersome than they should be.

Yes, and () isn't void; the poster above me is wrong. Void is...the absence of a type? It's awkward.

However, () and Unit are.
