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.
