also None is another annoying quirk

How is None a quirk?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The way it's written. Most programming languages call it null

That's pretty low bar for calling something a "quirk". The whole ML family, so OCaml, SML, Haskell, F# and perhaps a the new distant relative Rust call it also it None.

And it's not even the same thing: null means pointer to nothing, while None means no value.
