  • Java 21 makes me like Java again

    Nothing to do with the nature of the language, but with the nature of the program.

    If you're writing a few line script, you don't need a DI container. Once your program gets large, it becomes extremely messy without one. It's no surprise projects like [1] exist.

  • Loosely coupled Python code with Dependency Injection
    1 project | dev.to | 9 Nov 2022
    As projects continue to grow, its recommended to utilise a dependency injection framework to “inject” these dependencies, such as Dependency Injector, to inject dependency arguments automatically ✨.
  • What is the best practice for injecting configuration into a python application
    3 projects | /r/Python | 10 Apr 2022
    One approach is to pass this config as a variable to every class it is required, which I dont prefer. Another option is to annotate the config class as singleton and create the config object at every place where I need them. I also came across this library called Dependency_Injector. https://python-dependency-injector.ets-labs.org/ This seems a bit heavy weight for my use case though. I am looking forward to know how other solve this problem
