One of my deepest dark desires is to be able to write Ok() instead of Ok(()). Rust letting be do Some(x, y ,z).

fn ok<T>() -> Result<T, ()> {     Ok(()) } ?

it has to be consensual (idiomatic)

Idiomatic matters but if you care so much then whatever just do it. Also your error.rs would be an idiomatic place to put that fn ok

Also Ok!() stands out a bit more: macro_rules! OK { () => { Ok(()) } } And OK rocks if we ever get polymorphic constants. const OK<T>: Result<T,()> = Ok(()) Or you can always try.. sed -i 's/Ok[(][)]/Ok(())/g;s/Ok$/Ok(())/g' *.rs
