I started off decades ago with stuff like Delphi, PHP, and Python, all without DI. About 2001 I started with C# and I found properly implemented DI in .Net to be a killer feature.

However I loved it so much that I then wrote my own Node DI package (property and constructor injection). It didn't take long before I abandoned the idea - Node doesn't really fit with DI.

And I feel the same about Go. Some languages (eg C#, Java) work amazing with DI. For some others (eg Node, Go) it simply feels wrong. I can't put my finger on why, but reading the sample Go code in the original article makes me feel how I do when (in film) I see a human body with a limb bent to an unnatural angle.

Just to clarify I'm all up for well designed IOC with Node and Go, I'm just unconvinced it should be done with DI.
