[aosd-discuss] "AOP considered harmful"

[Maximilian Stoerzer]

Hi all,

as one of the authors of the referenced paper, just a short note: This 
paper was written for a panel discussion, and indeed intended to be 
provocative.

However, I think that AOP as we see it now can result in reduced program 
understandability, if used in the wrong way. Additionally AOP imho 
strongly depends on tool support (thanks for ajdt, great tool in that 
context!).

Our intention in comparing advice and GOTO was to outline these 
problems, as I think they have to be addressed to make AOP a long term 
success story, especially when considering software maintenance - and in 
no way AOP bashing, please don't get us wrong ;o)

Best regards,
     Max
