is there a more elegant way of doing this? if (!::lateObj.isInitialized) lateObj = LateObj()

Why not make lateObj nullable then? 🤔

[tipsy]

that's what i had before i tried to use lateInit, i had lateObj = lateObj ?: LateObj()

i left it as that

[kingsley]

I don’t think it gets simpler than this

[kingsley]

Except if your use case fits well with lazy delegate

unfortunately not
