> Spring was a really effective way to convert compile-time errors into run-time errors :) This is not a joke. Spring invalidates refactoring tools and a lot of static analysis. It makes working on Java feel like you are working on Python or something. The traceability of errors is very low. You can limit yourself to a subset of Spring's functionality (eg no component scanning, wiring up the beans manually) but it will not be idiomatic.
