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.
