I mean sure, you’d definitely use a scoped address to talk to the next hop, but it still doesn’t solve how the router/switch knows which port to send the packet to for its next destination. Say I have a global unicast address on my des

The amount of time spent every compilation on this is negligible: a nullable type is just another type like any other. I don’t buy your argument at all. It’s a clear no-brainer at this point: null references were a mistake, and any language

You know what's better than having to remember to write the proper checks before the call? Having the compiler do the checks for you. Code that results in a nil dereference should not be compilable, period. Any programming language tha

I’d add to this that there’s a good reason the testing culture is so strong in ruby: you absolutely need to write tests for every last little 2-line method to make sure you did it right. With no compilation or type checking step, there’s no
