For those of you who's really interested in lateinit vals with final backing fields, here's a neat hack that may help you:

// NullHack.java
public class NullHack {
    private NullHack() {
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("ConstantConditions")
    @NotNull
    public static <T> T notNull() {
        return null;
    }
}

// NullHack.kt
inline fun <reified T> notNull(): T = NullHack.notNull<T>()
