Can you recommend what features of Guice you find you want that Dagger does not offer, and how these relate? The Dagger and Guice folks are in pretty regular discussion and are related projects, and it would be nice to know what we're missing. Absolutely Guice is more powerful and flexible across many dimensions - a deliberate decision to constrain APIs in order to encourage certain patterns, especially in Dagger 2.
Google has some experience (with some good results) simulating the guice API in a compile-time annotation processor, though it still ended up being a sub-set of the GUICE total capability. I'm interested to hear of your experiences. I will say, I'm really glad people are experimenting with different approaches. Also, I should point out that we do have a validation annotation processor for Guice that we need to roll-out to help with earlier error validation, though that doesn't address performance constraints. It's been sitting for a bit, owing to prioritization, but I think that we should get it in shape and into Guice soon. (cc:ing colin about that) Christian.
