alt Hacker NewsI don't think objc has the equivalent of a null pointer exception. You can freely send messages to a deallocated object. Since ARC, it is rare, at least in my experience, running into any memory related issues with objc.

You can send messages to null, sendings messages to a deallocated pointer is going to be a bad time.

You can send messages to `nil`, but the inverse isn't universally true. APIs like
will throw an `NSInvalidArgumentException` if `other` is nil.
