[aosd-discuss] dynamic AOP and dynamic languages

[SainTiss]

Hi,

Ok, I agree that probably there have been a number of attempts to implement 
AOP in a number of languages. However, the question is why they never 
received their part of the attention? Is there a sound reason why everything 
seems to fall back to Java in the end?

Or would it be a good idea to try to publish my kind of implementation to an 
AOP conference regardless?

I guess what I'm trying to find out is whether there really is a contribution 
to AOP in dynamic languages, and if there is, whether it is worthwhile trying 
to convince the AOP community?

Thanks,

Hans
