I want lightweight, and compile time. But I'll take compile time only if need be. In terms of lightweight, I have never needed to use the @Alternative binding [0]. Nearly all of my needs are met by being able to define "this is a singleton, this is a dependency that you should always inject a new instance of, and this is a property." But it's surprisingly hard to find DI that limits itself like that. The DI in Micronaut and Quarkus are probably the closest to my ideal. Compile time, and only implement a subset of CDI etc. [0]: https://netbeans.apache.org/kb/docs/javaee/cdi-validate.html https://netbeans.apache.org/kb/docs/javaee/cdi-validate.html
