You're right about null? being a problem. `Nothing` suggests an option type. What about 'nada' or 'nix'? On Fri, Sep 14, 2018 at 6:45 PM HiPhish wrote: > 1) Huh, I didn't think this would work because the record type is already > nil, > but apparently it does. Good to know > > 2) `null` is bad

1) Huh, I didn't think this would work because the record type is already nil, but apparently it does. Good to know 2) `null` is bad because the predicate would be `null?`, which collides even worse with Scheme. Any other suggestions? `nothing`? `nul` with one ell? I think it would be too easy
