Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

For consistency with 'null' and to maintain precision, 'nul' is the better choice. It directly represents the concept of 'nil' in a programming context.

Issue breakdown

  • accuracy Same as 'null': 'ništo' is too broad. 'Nil' is a specific state representing the absence of a value.
  • specificity Lacks specificity for programming context.
  • consistency Consistent with 'null' and 'none', but that consistency is based on a potentially inaccurate base.
