NDev 39: The Unimplemented Type - Null

Bitters Pub & Restaurant

Hey Folks, This month we have software engineer Nathan Frenette joining us remotely to talk about null! "Null is considered a special value because its creators considered it special. Null has been considered a billion dollar mistake. I argue that the mistake is not null - but instead is the special treatment it gets. I see no reason to see it as special. We'll discuss the implications of assuming that null is not special." Hope to see you there!
