Enums in Motoko (tweet)

[ggreif]

Enumerated types are a simple form of variants where each of the alternatives carries trivial (unit, ()) payload. The syntax allows to eliminate the payload specification entirely (and it is recommended to do so):

type Colour = { #red; #green; #blue };
let favourite : Colour = #green;
