  * Compile units do not depend on libc unless explicitly linked.
  * Provides standard library which competes with the C standard library and is
    always compiled against statically in source form.
- * Pointer types do not allow the null value. Instead you can use a maybe type
-   which has several syntactic constructs to ensure that the null pointer is

+ * Nullable type instead of null pointers.
+ * Tagged union type instead of raw unions.
+ * Generics so that one can write efficient data structures that work for any

  * Provides an error type with several syntatic constructs which makes writing
    robust code convenient and straightforward. Writing correct code is easier
    than writing buggy code.
