NullPointerExceptions in Haskell
Data.NullPointer

Tired of using Maybe
? Wrapping values in Just
makes you sick?
Missing your NullPointerException
s?
Add null value to any data type using Data.NullPointer
!
Example
import Prelude hiding (null)
import System.Environment (getArgs)
import Data.NullPointer
getFirstArg :: [String] -> String
getFirstArg (x:_) = x
getFirstArg [] = null
main = do
arg <- getFirstArg <$> getArgs
if isNull arg
then putStrLn "No argument passed"
else putStrLn arg
What if I forget to check if a value is null?
You'll get a NullPointerException
, just like in Java! Brillant!
