I don’t thin AOP is specific to static languages. From my understanding, the “aspect” part implies the ability to “hook into” and extend an application at specific “cut points”, which are typically pre/post function/method calls. This is done in Java by modifying byte code to insert proxies. I imagine something similar could be developed with other languages. It might just be easier to do in Java because the type signatures are static.
