evolve is a more powerful and principled alternative to dependency injection. at its heart is a far richer component model than other approaches.
evolve features the following:
- a uml-based graphical editor for components.
- a powerful component model with full connectors. this avoids the wiring limitations of di.
-
the architecture is always explicit as uml diagrams, which are kept automatically synchronized with the code.
(no more large xml files, or annotations smattered throughout the code) - evolution support is built-in. systems created with evolve have the remarkable feature of being always extensible.
- open source runtime
evolve comes from the commercialization of cutting-edge academic research into components and highly extensible systems at imperial college, london. try it out, and let us know what you think.
