It's hard to tell, whether they fix anything. When you cast nullable to
non-nullable, you get your runtime exception as usual, if you if out access to
nullable (e.g. in delayed method), you get your runtime exception again or
rather logical bug.
Getting the error early is actually a lot better than getting the error
late.
Getting the error early means that less code compiles and that makes the rapid
development fail and turns it into a waterfall misery. It's important to make
your tests run quickly in the background. One reason I prefer Python is that it
let's me run even (semantically) buggy code, because syntactical correctness is
enough. It really improves productivity.
Yes, let's turn off compiler errors entirely!
