Someone on the Herding Code podcast No. 68, http://herdingcode.com/herding-code-68-new-year-shenanigans/, stated that IOC containers had no place with Python or Javascript,
I have a different opinion. I think IOC containers certainly have a role in dynamic languages.
I do not share the opinion that a language being dynamic removes the need for a clearly structured composition of objects. Or that a dynamic language 'provides' the same functionality.
An IOC container is simply a tool to manage this organization.
Even in a dynamic language I want to 'wire' together components. Without making hard dependencies between those components. Or maybe even without specifying the actual implementation class for those components.
