<@U10EJRH2L> <@U092308M7> I'd phrase it this way: `lateinit` is very useful when your objects are being managed by a container, and containers typically separate object instantiation from object initializations. Some example containers would be Android, the servlet spec, and probably many others. Technically, `lateinit` has nothing to do with Java and nothing to do with dependency injection.

I agree completely from a technical standpoint, my comment was for practical use. From my experience, in practice, that translates to dependency injection with Java frameworks the vast majority of the time, such as `@FXML` in the question. Granted, that may be a limitation of my experience.

(Also, <@U092308M7> and I were replying to different questions. I'm not sure why you mentioned both of us.)
