* Julia does not support the `NULL` type. The closest equivalent is [`nothing`](@ref), but it
behaves like a scalar value rather than like a list. Use `x === nothing` instead of `is.null(x)`.
* In Julia, missing values are represented by the [`missing`](@ref) object rather than by `NA`.

Use [`ismissing(x)`](@ref) (or `ismissing.(x)` for element-wise operation on vectors) instead of
`is.na(x)`. The [`skipmissing`](@ref) function is generally

argument).
* Julia lacks the equivalent of R's `assign` or `get`.
