Not just that, but I don't understand why users would be so eager to kill type safety in their applications. If i'm understanding, these injection methods are totally type-unsafe and construction errors are deferred until runtime?

I've used this framework. The exceptions being deferred until runtime were really frustrating.

If you really want to use DI in golang, for some reason, wire[1] at least still gives you type safety and compile-time failures.
