Read Void #

Reading a Void value is always a parse error, considering Void as a data type with no constructors.

type Rep Void = D1 ('MetaData "Void" "Data.Void" "base" 'False) (V1 :: Type -> Type)

absurd :: Void -> a Source #

Since Void values logically don't exist, this witnesses the logical reasoning tool of "ex falso quodlibet".

>>> let x :: Either Void Int; x = Right 5
>>> :{
case x of
    Right r -> r
    Left l  -> absurd l
:}
5

vacuous :: Functor f => f Void -> f a Source #

If Void is uninhabited then any Functor that holds only values of type Void is holding no values.

Using ApplicativeDo: 'vacuous theVoid' can be understood as the do expression

do void <- theVoid
   pure (absurd void)

with an inferred Functor constraint.
