Kotlin 1.0.5 is here

Also, using it with RoboGuice is a bit annoying.

At the moment I use vals, but it still requires me to mark injected dependencies as nullable (and coerce them with !! on use), which feels like I'm fighting the type system.

It would be really nice if there was some sort of "special" null that was of the non-nullable type, but could only be used when initializing variables.

Wouldn't a `lateinit var` solve the problem in this case? (Although the downside is that now it's a variable)

Otherwise I'm sure you can come up with a good solution using delegated properties or something like that.

People still use RoboGuice?
