The Problem with Dependency Injection Frameworks

The alternative of wiring up your own dependencies is pretty trivial and I really prefer it. Martin Fowler calls it a Service Locator, https://martinfowler.com/articles/injection.html#UsingAServi...

FWIW a fellow who has published books on the topic calls Service Locator an anti-pattern[1]. I take no position here as usage of any pattern is contextual but it's worth a read.

Looks like a strawman, that isn't the ServiceLocator I expect, it looks like he's writing his own DI engine.

I would prefer manual DI: https://blog.ploeh.dk/2012/11/06/WhentouseaDIContainer/
