Can I return early from the init block?

[Riccardo Lippolis]

not directly, but you can work around it like e.g. this:

init {
    run {
        // do some stuff
        if (someCondition) {
            return@run
        }
    }
}

or:

init {
    doInit()
}

private fun doInit() {
    // do some stuff
    if (someCondition) {
        return
    }
}

isn't that just an if?

init {
    // do some stuff
    if (someCondition) {
        // do more stuff
    }
}

Yes, but to reduce telescoping effects I prefer early exit
