I completely agree with your second paragraph but the last sentence seems like you don't know what people mean when they say they hate NullPointerExceptions.
They don't mean that you just silently ignore the null value, they mean that they would prefer to use a language that has proper optional types.
- Jensson 5y agoPeople tend to not languages without null though. They have all those NullPointerExceptions in their mind and figure coding would be easier if those didn't exist, but when you give them that they don't like it. Null sits in a very nice spot between dynamic typing and static typing.
