Year After Switching from Java to Go: Our Experiences
Never really heard of Dagger before, but I love what I'm seeing: https://dagger.dev/
On the other hand, using DI with Spring is both powerful and really annoying when things blow up due to unsatisfied dependencies, I'd much rather see that at compile time, so Dagger seems right up my alley! Thanks for mentioning it!

Dependency Injection in Go: Comparing Wire, Dig, Fx & More
Dagger is a compile-time dependency injection tool widely used in Java and Kotlin. Although not officially supported in Go, some developers have experimented with using it.

Dependency injection with AWS Lambdas in java
As said in the title, we will focus on the dependency inversion principle and one of its application : dependency injection. For production-ready applications, it would be better to rely on a framework and not implement its own container. For it, the java ecosystem have 3 frameworks available : Spring, Guice and Dagger.

Refactoring our Dependency Injection using Anvil
At Reddit, we use Dagger 2 for handling dependency injection (DI) in our Android application. As we’ve scaled the application over the years, we’ve accrued a bit of technical debt in how we have approached this problem.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing butterknife and Dagger2 you can also consider the following projects:
Guice - Guice (pronounced 'juice') is a lightweight dependency injection framework for Java 11 and above, brought to you by Google.
Tiger
Weld - Weld, including integrations for Servlet containers and Java SE, examples and documentation
AndroidAnnotations - Fast Android Development. Easy maintainance.
