[aosd-discuss] AOP on .NET - a long way to go?

[Alan Cyment]

Hi there, Owen! You might want to take a look at:

My view on AOP for .NET: it doesn't jumpstart because there is no production-level tool => there's no such tool because...well, a couple of reasons as far as I see it, but mainly because MS is not corporatively backing it up (i.e. some people inside MS do like AOP, but that doesn't change things much). Most of the work that has been done so far with AOP for .NET has stemmed from the academic world (the two most prominent counterexamples being the ones you mention: Aspect# & NAspect). None of them has caught up the industry's (namely MS) eyes the way AspectJ did.

I've been working on trying to sum up the efforts of those of us who had worked on small tools to work on a bigger, more robust one. Not an easy task so far I must say...

Cheers,
Alan
