Description Tal Liron 2012-12-12 21:42:43 UTC 
This will print a newline at the end:

 var s = "hello"
 print s

This will print "(null)" but without a newline:

 s: string? = null
 print s
Comment 1 Jamie McCracken 2013-09-08 23:21:13 UTC 
This is now fixed in master and a newline will be added even if the string variable evaluates to null

also print "" will just print a newline
