Well – After looking at a few other Ruby IoC containers – I am comparing Needle and Copeland. My thought is currently that Copeland feels more comfortable in general. It seems to offer much of what Spring offers from the ‘core container features’ to some AOP type features as well. That being said – I feel the need to try Needle a bit more as it seems less familiar to me (sort of reminds me of PicoContainer). This goes to one of my core ideas that I try to love by:

If you are in your zone of comfort – you are NOT learning.

I will update as I dwindle down to the essentials of daily use with these containers.
