I still have problems with the false sense of security (ie, the type system lying to the developer). https://twitter.com/toolslive666/status/130953378113778074

  That’s fixable in this release, though behind a compiler flag https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescript-4-1/#checked-indexed-accesses-nouncheckedindexedaccess https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescr... Agree with the general sentiment though.

  This might be your lucky day, check the `noUncheckedIndexedAccess` option introduced by this release!

  Fortunately every new TS release (at least since I’ve been using it around 2.0) improves the safety of well typed programs, or at least allows you to opt in to that additional safety. There are risks of course in the hands of people who don’t know its limitations. But the more TS is adopted and the more strictness is embraced in the community, the lower that risk is.
