| It's funny that this hits the list now as I've just been looking at scala this past week and thinking I'd love to start playing with it. Whether there is a solid eclipse plugin and whether AspectJ is useable with the language are my two biggest potential sticking points though. If anybody is keeping track, put me down as interested as well.

If this is remains true - and I can't see how it would be practical to change this - then you'd always have to be aware of how the scala source code for example gets de-sugared.
I'd be very interested in tighter integration between scala and AspectJ.

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?
