@propensive you might know… I’m trying to remember which scala keyword can be repeated multiple times in a single “chain” for some reason… Remember there was such case but can’t remember now… hmm

That'd be weird, you could actually return a Nothing value, wouldn't you?
Well, plenty of other stuff typechecks as Nothing: - ??? - throw YourFavoriteException - def f: Nothing = f - yourFavoriteValue.asInstanceOf[Nothing] None of them really *return* Nothing, though...

Indeed, that's what I was going for - it'd be super weird if `return notNothing` typechecked as Nothing and kot throw :D

But, to the typechecker, return is equivalent to an exception. I think it was even implemented under the hood by throwing an exception and catching it at the method boundary in early versions of Scala. (Maybe it still is!)
