Any is not Nothing, the reverse is true though. Nothing is a subtype for all other types but there are no instances of it. That’s why you can return TODO() from any function. There is only one instance of Nothing? which is null. So for example an empty list object could return Nothing? from it’s getters to indicate that it will never return anything but null
