Why is the joke with Java always factories? Factories are really super useful in a dependency injection context.

[-] firelizzard@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

I've been working primarily in Go for the past five years, including some extremely complex projects, and I have never once wished I had dependency injection. It has been wonderful. I have used dependency injection - previously I worked on a C# project for years, and that used DI - but I adore Go's simplicity and I never want to use anything else (except for JS for UI, via Electron or Wails for desktop).

How does dependency injection have anything to do with writing tests? I write tests by writing a test function that executes the code I want to test...

I mean unit tests. I work on Spring Boot apps where there are distinct layers (controller -> service -> persistence), and you generally inject mocks into your object to isolate tests to the specific code you want under test. One benefit of this approach is that it's pretty easy to get 90% coverage.
