Java has raw types (e.g. List is allowed without specifying the type parameter) but Kotlin does not. Since List is different than List<?>, Nothing is used to translate to a raw type (Nothing doesn't exist in Java anyway). List<*> (shorthand for List<out Any?>) is how you'd express List<?> in Java, and List<Nothing> is how you'd express List in Java.
