NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

The Golang community has had its fair share of dependency injection skeptics, partly because they confused the pattern with specific frameworks, and developers with a system-programming background naturally dislike runtime overhead caused by reflection. Then along came Wire, a compile-time dependency injection tool that can generate code and wire components together. Wire has no additional runtime overhead, and the static dependency graph is easier to reason about. Whether you handwrite your code or use frameworks, we recommend using dependency injection to encourage modular and testable designs.
