Yeah. But C++, C, Java and I think even Go don't let you easily encode nullability into the type system. There have been many attempts to fix it (e.g. `@Nonnull` in Java) but none are as good as Typescript or Rust for example. Dart actually started off with implicit nullability and switched to explicit which was a huge effort.
