I think having null is great in some cases where you need to represent missing value.

Option types or sum types would probably be a much less terrible choice for this, although I guess some sort of nullable keyword counts as a sum type

Well, anything that can be captured at compile time or by the IDE is infinitely better than the situation we have today.

Ha yeah, just about anything is better than the current status quo
