I like the pattern a lot more. It makes you just initialize the value and only keep it 'nullable' for where it's needed and then you need to check. Even .net implemented it (but a bit more awkward)
Yup. Programmers are really stupid, if the compiler forces us to explicitly handle weird situations that's a feature.
