exaclty, whether you call it 'Nothing' or 'null' does not matter, as long as it represents a distinct type than 'true' or 'false'

- freilanzer 4y agoNull for me is a null pointer, and thus there's a difference. Anyway, if that's all you want than Haskell, etc. definitely handle that case.
- nerdponx 4y agoThe word "null" means "missing value" in e.g. SQL and most data science / analytics contexts. It's unfortunately an overloaded term with two different meaning. Conflating the two things is where we get the egregious mistake of using null pointers to represent null data!
