      I took great pains last week to convert a big python project to make it typed. (shoutout to MonkeyType)

      It’s so much nicer to develop now…

      Oh that’s a neat library. Type annotations in python are really nice, and you don’t have to add tooling like when you switch from JS to TS.

        If it’s not getting used in a mathematical function, I’m making it a string

              I believe, that would mean that any 0 is equivalent to the null pointer, since the null pointer is just memory address 0…

                Yeah, that’s really one in a kind for such an important feature.

                  In C that would make sense yes.

                    Me: Puts a boolean into sqlite

                    Me: Asks for that boolean

                    SQLite: “Here’s that int you asked for”

                      Groovy will automatically convert integers into objects, as it sees fit. And one such case is when you assign null to an integer.

                      There’s some more languages, which try to treat primitive types like objects, to make them more consistently usable. As I understand, nullability is a big part of the reason why it can’t be solved with syntactic sugar, so presumably this would be possible in all those languages.
                      If I’m not mistaken, Ruby is another one of those languages.
