In my experience these other languages are C and C++.  Java requires
explicit x == null for objets for example.  Ruby is similar to Lua in
this respect as well.  Basically what I'm getting at is that the
majority of languages are not this way.  I used to think the same
thing as you, but in the end my thinking was warped by the all
pervasiveness of C and C++.
