RE: [aspectj-users] Drawbacks of AOP
|
I think these problems exist because we are in (still the beginning of) a
hybrid-languages phase. AOP tools are used over OOP languages. The next big
language might be more pure AOP, e.g. it might not even have class
inheritance; where aspects apply on single-level classes. At this time there
sure will be some way to structure aspects so as to facilitate the work of
IDE's (as in OOP IDE's now). In all cases the next-phase pure-AOP languages
will be more and more dependant on the tool while having less and less
influence of the language syntax.
