@dsyme @migueldeicaza Are there good examples of how it's a big time saver? i.e. is it just the elimination of null checks?

@demisbellot @dsyme not ever having a nullref exception

@jsonmez How can moving null checks to the call sites result in less code? Sounds counter-intuitive, got examples showing less code?

@demisbellot So basically, you try to make things immutable and always initialized to a valid value. Null object pattern helps as well.

@jsonmez Unless it's guaranteed not to be null, i.e. I can see how you can get away with it in F# since guarantees are baked into the lang.

@demisbellot It does all circle back to @migueldeicaza 's initial query. If we could eliminate null in C#, then things are much better IMO.

@jsonmez Definitely not a fan of removing them, there's useful stuff like optional params + complex object requests that would be hard w/o.
