@sdeleuze the thing is that lateinit uses null as “not-initialized”, at the same time Int will be interpreted as primitive java int whenever possible to avoid allocation on heap, that means that combination of any primitive types with lateinit is not possible because lateinit needs reference type (for null) but primitives are not reference types… We’re facing it from time to time and have to fallback to Delegates.notNull() as suggested before, you can vote for IDE quickfix for that https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-12515
