0 is Void, not Unit. Unit is () and has exactly one value. Void has no values.

0 is the worst mistake in computer science. We should banish it under an Option type.

You are all wrong, 0 should be identical to false, the empty string, and the empty list.
If you haven't figured it out by now, that means that Perl got it right.

0 is a number. It is not a string. It is not a list. It is not a set, class, or null value.

People that say NULL should not exist are all pussies. If NULL should be hidden behind a maybe gonad, so should 0.
