I have been laid off from my job for a couple of months now. (CS degree/ 4 years experience)

Please don’t just tell me to stick with iOS dev because I just cannot see myself doing it anymore. I literally only sticked with iOS dev because I thought that apps were going to be the future and that all companies needed apps, but it was the other way around, all companies need backend.

Null-pointer exceptions are a common error in Java, causing inconvenience for many developers. Preventing null pointer exceptions in advance is important, but for developers who want to focus solely on logic, handling them can be tedious. Moreover, it’s not always easy to account for every scenario. Typically, static analysis tools are used to detect potential null pointer issues, but developers still have to find and fix the code themselves. JPlus reduces that burden. Let’s write null-safe Java code with JPlus.

JPlus is a modern programming language and compiler that acts as a superset of Java — bringing the benefits of null safety and powerful boilderplate code generation declarative features while remaining fully interoperable with existing Java code and libraries.
