ALGOL originated null
- TheDong 4y agoIn ALGOL it was more like a thousand dollar mistake. It didn't become a billion dollars until Java caused NPEs on 3 billion devices
- marginalia_nu 4y agoJava's got like the safest most soft-punching NPEs in any language that's got them though. They're so safe you can use them as flow control devices.
- another2another 4y agoyes, but please don't - there's a good dear.
- marginalia_nu 4y agotry { return true; } finally { return false; }
- ajuc 4y agoI'm pretty sure nulls in C and C++ caused more problems than in Java :)
