    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.

        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.
