A software tester walks into a bar,
He asks for a single beer,
He asks for 1,000,000 beers,
He asks for 1/2 beers,
Dunky walks into the bar,
He asks where the toilet is,
And the whole bar got set on fire.

We can eliminate the need for nullsafe by simply not returning null? Why does the language need to support bad coding practices?

A software tester walks into a bar.
He orders a beer, -1 beers, 50 beers, nuhriuh beers, NULL beers. The barman happily fulfils the orders he can, and declines the ones he can’t.
A software user walks into the same bar, and asks the barman where the toilets are. The barman explodes, the bar burns to the ground, and the building collapses.
