null is a number like every number like every letter like every color wtf

@lizardsquid null is a number, zero is a different number, NaN is another different number, the number type is a number, the function type is a a number

@Efi what I'm saying is that only numbers should be of type number

null shouldn't be of type number, neither should NaN, neither should functions

@lizardsquid neither null, NaN or function s are number types ever, wth??? where in null a number type??? null is null, it's type is also null, every property of null is null, there is no number null, but null is a thing, therefore a numbered thing

@lizardsquid you can't not have null is all I'm saying, it's an existential construct, like the unit or the input

@Efi Languages exist that don't have null, though - rust, ocaml, haskell
