I was thinking about :
void method() to be equivalent, or maybe noted as :
this method()

And void function to be replaced with specific class like(I use this
here and there when direct use of void is not possible and this work
pretty well):

java.lang.Void methid();
or maybe noted as:
null method();

So hopefully this would fit language peaty well.
Any way it's to early for me to comprehend influence of such big
change. I do not like such know-how solutions.
