ViewsWhat's the point of "val variable =" following by nothing in Kotlin?
I accidentally hit enter after a value assignment and to my surprise it compiled perfectly fine!
What's the point of having this syntax? I tried to search for it online but only found articles about the Nothing-type, but nowhere close to this surprising syntax.

Technically, return 123 is an expression which returns Nothing. Just like throw RuntimeException(). You can save the result of this expression in your variable but I cannot imagine how you can use it :)
