How do I initialize a final field in Kotlin?

You can set val value in init block:

class MyClass {

    val s: String

    init {
        s = "value"
    }

}

You can also initialize the value with by lazy the value will be initialized the first time it is referred. An example

val s by lazy { RemoteService.result() }

kotlin will guess the type of s from the return type of the expression.
