What’s confusing about that? It’s null, just two different kinds with slightly different meanings. Is having two boolean values also confusing?! Should we simplify it?
I mean I can get behind trying to remove null entirely and replacing it with better concepts, but I cannot understand why having one more null value suddenly makes it confusing. You don’t even have to care in 95% of the cases, and it can be useful in the other 5%.
Honestly, it looks more like some kind of misguided purism to me.
Just make fun of it for having two flavors of null.
So what’s wrong with having two flavors of null?
It’s super confusing. A lot of people think even one null is a problem.

Why stop at two? Why not have a dozen versions of null?
Idk, how many more do you need?
