kotlinlang

hey, we're seeing `Cannot invoke "java.util.Map.get(Object)" because the return value of foo() is null`
very naively: `foo()` is a Kotlin function which returns `List<Bar>`, so under what conditions could it even return null?

Once such condition is accessing a field before instantiation is complete: <https://pl.kotl.in/vLZFH-OIz>

that is a good guess but that doesn't seem to be it in this case. especially since this code path almost always works
a coworker said "it could be OOM issues" and kinda left it there - is it true that OOM could lead to something like this?

Out Of Memory? I don't see how that could be the cause
