I wouldn't quite phrase it that way, since it's nothing new. OCaml from the 1990s has no null value (you need to represent potentially missing values with Option). I suspect there are older examples than that.
- swsieber 7y agoI would tentatively phrase it like that. It's not that rust is original in that regard, but instead effective though actually being adopted.
