How the heck does a system interpret a string value null as a literal null? That seems insane to me that there really is software out there written like this. "null" != null... Or so I thought, maybe there are languages out there that this can happen in easily? Or someone is storing the string value of null in a non nullable database column?

May I introduce you to our lord and savior JavaScript?

But even in JavaScript a string representation of null is not equal to a null literal. 'null' or "null" are not the same as null
