Re:Years in Common Lisp: 2022 in review by pfdietz on Tuesday January 10, 2023 @07:57AM (#34324127)
Common Lisp code does have checks for NIL. When they are missing you get bugs like this one:

If you are calling a generic function you can sometimes avoid such checks by introducing methods specialized on the type NULL (which contains only NIL).
