nullpointerexception is more likely the developper's fault

Of course it was the developer's fault. But it's absurd a language without pointers throws an error about pointers.

I guess naming it NullReferenceException will revolutionize industry

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Having error messages that match the language is actually helpful. A reference and a pointer aren't exactly the same.

Like if Rust output "invalid word size" on a type mismatch.
