<p>That was exactly my point.<p>GP mentioned ‘chasing null pointer exceptions’, then parent mentioned that the language <i>’now does have nonnull  annotation’</i>, prompting me to explain that that does <i>not</i> prevent null pointer exceptions.<p>So, not <i>living a dangerously</i>. All that can be held against me is being “dangerously” imprecise on HN - definitely not good either</p>

<p>It is a really pleasant language, but I think the <nonnull> annotation is for initialization only - compiler checking against initializing an object ptr with a null value - and does not prevent crashing when addressing an already released object</p>
