Let me correct a misunderstanding. JADEx was created as a Java superset language to strengthen Java’s insufficient null-related type system. In JADEx, Java’s reference types are assumed to be non-null by default, and through the nullability static analysis results provided by JADEx, developers can explicitly choose to mark types as nullable. Because of this, there is no problem using null-safe access operators and the Elvis operator.
To summarize:
Good clarification, thank you. I guess it would still require some extra care when interfacing with plain Java libraries, but so does e.g. Kotlin. Cool implementation.
We hope you continue to show great interest in JADEx. Thank you :)
