Of course. At this point I'm not sure what this has to do with the code snippet mentioned upthread or the response to it. Your analogy didn't really convey why you'd think java allowing "String s = gridWrapper.get(0).get(0).get(0);" is a good vs bad thing, it just tells me that types don't protect you from everything, I think. I didn't find that the analogy added anything valuable and instead kind of simplified a problem that didn't need simplifying. The topic isn't whether type systems are valuable, but whether the positive value of java's outweighs the harmful logic it allows the developer to write.

A language like rust can prevent writing code like that, and thus prevent that sort of error, while a language like javascript is even more lax. Both have their tradeoffs wrt productivity and performance.
