is there a discussion of having the compiler do something to convert someMap[key]!!... into someMap.getValue(key)... ?

[elizarov]

We had some internal discussion, but I'm not even sure we have issue for it in our tracker

[groostav]

its something I've run into a lot, my idiomatic use of maps would be better served if i had a map type that didnt allow for null keys or null values

[elizarov]

But you don't have to use maps with null keys/values.

[diesieben07]

The reason that someMap[key] is nullable is not because the map can contain null values, it is because the expression is null if the key does not exist in th emap.
