Most modern languages have an explicit option type, which indicates that a variable may not have a value. Java (and many other languages) allows all reference types to be null, meaning you have little compiler assistance in helping prevent

Don't confuse unfamiliar with unreadable. There are a large number of languages that don't fall under the 'imperative, curly bracket' umbrella. For example: - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet&
