Go is even worse. They just use the word "nil" instead of "null". Go does a lot of really silly things too, like the nil pointer receiver's (basically something that allow you dereference null in certain contexts) ends up having terrible side-effects on the type theory and you end up with really stupid exceptions, like nil represents an empty slice and you can do stuff like get it's size or append to it, but the same operations would cause a panic with a map. But both Java and Go are serious languages.
