Except in every other programming language with a null, null is the definite absence of something

[dominicrose]

Yes and I think that Clojure handles nil pretty well, and it's a functional programming language like SQL. It's also interesting to see that Typescript has added an unknown type. So something that's a value in SQL (null being unknown) is a type in TS.

Sure, and we're talking about SQL nulls in this context, which is why I am strict in my definition.
