There are many new terms coined for old concepts. Like “capture” for

Can you elaborate on "dependency injection" for "callback"?  It would be
nice if a small example be presented in a popular language such as Lisp
or Python.

Looking the term up, it seems sufficiently different from "callback".

(This is a genuine request for information.  I never understood why we
need the term "dependency injection".
