programming is fine, you nerds. it's implicitly nullable types that aren't fine. i've been saying this for years
nomic: online edition
@interfly@queer.town I've played 2 games of Mornington Nomic to completion - it's a variant which starts with the context of the London Train map, so people start off with cool mechanic ideas!
@Felthry woops that was meant to be a reply
that's what I've been saying this entire time hjskhdajshgasd
@Efi Languages exist that don't have null, though - rust, ocaml, haskell
@Efi @LottieVixen@dev.glitch.social that's what C does and what java does
@Efi I don't understand what you're saying, then...
@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
@Efi zero is a number
null is not
programming
@Efi well I am removing them
and then defining this in the standard library:
data Optional<a> = Some(a) | Nothing
programming
@Efi nulls can be replaced with Optional<Type> or Maybe<Type>
which means that suddenly we don't have things breaking type safety
and checking for nulls is now ensured at compile time, rather than a problem that can happen at runtime
and Optional<Type> can be compiled down to a null check, so it's not "less efficient"
