: There are lots of examples of languages with special semantics around null strings. Syntax, I'm not so sure. SNOBOL was one, variables are NULL strings by default and they get reinterpreted depending on the operation. Add a null string and it treats it as a zero. Icon/Unicon have special syntax for a null type but that's not the same as a null string. What's expected where a language doesn't have special syntax? --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 03:26, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
