Make Your Java Code Null-Safe Without Rewriting (jplus.hashnode.dev)

JPlus is fully compatible with Java, offering modern language features like null safety, boilerplate code generation and other modern language features to reduce developer burden and maximize productivity.

Notably, there is currently no ‘superset’ language that keeps Java syntax almost intact while extending the language with features like null checks at the language level. JPlus aims to fill this gap, providing a language that existing Java developers can naturally learn and adopt.

If you check for them in your boundary, you shouldn't check for them everywhere, only where you possibly introduce them ...

But you can't look at a method signature and instantly know who handles the null check. You need to inspect code and calls to know for sure. This will lead to paranoia, sooner or later
