Go is one of the worst/weirdest. It has semantics around uninitialized variables that most programs will rely on for correctness. And it also has nil.

Go is bad in that it uses pointers to make something nullable, but i dont think the uninitialised non nullable values are zero is that bad. Otherwise uninitialised is another type of null...
