what? I don't feel it's "pointless" at all. Many popular Java libraries and frameworks (including Spring) use nullability annotations which can be interpreted correctly by Kotlin. It's true that I can't be 100% sure not to get NPEs, but I think it's close enough and I've rarely seen NPEs in Kotlin codebases.

Indeed, Kotlin's null handling is great. NPE's in Kotlin code aren't common.
