Re: [aspectj-users] Future of AspectJ
Can I read that section now for free?
I promise to buy the book when it's out ;)

In our http://programmingscala.com book, we have a brief section on using AJ with Scala. It would be great to write front end parsers in diff JVM languages for the join point language. Scala's traits can work like advice for single JPs, bit quantification is still missing.

Hi All,

I was wondering if it is required that AspectJ is tied to the Java Language?  I see that is what the J is for, but there are some new languages like JavaFX and Scala that I don't think have supporting aspect extension languages.  There is http://functionaljava.org/, a variant of Java that supports closures and other functional language concepts.  What if AspectJ could become AspectJVM and support other JVM languages?  I understand LTW can do much of what I ask, how far off is LTW from a real integration?  I mean it would be nice to write my aspect code using other language features as well at least this would not be possible until the aspectj language specification changed.

Why not add closures to AspectJ to support it's usage in aspects?  How is it decided to evolve the language?

Mike
