Certainly not one with optionals. I still don’t see the need for it. I can check for nullability myself when it’s required. Genetics are indeed useful but such

Genetics are indeed useful but such a can of worms that are not worth it IMO
- skohan 8y agoOptionals are like having a strong type system to me: they used to feel superfluous and unnecessary, but once I got used to it, I’m happy to have my compiler ensure that aspect of my code is correct rather than finding out I made a mistake from intermittent runtime errors.
