Sometimes I would like to declare a property like this:

Is functional intellisense and code browsing more beneficial than the use of dependency injection containers

This question is really based on PHP, but could be valid for other dynamically typed, interpreted languages and specifically the methods of generating code insight and object browsing in development environments.

Can higher-order functions in FP be interpreted as some kind of dependency injection?

How to do dependency Injection and conditional object creation based on type?
