I guess a few people are still talking about it because it sounds significant, the name sounds as if it's competing with OOP, instead of being the gimmick that it is.
We do the same thing in OOP (without the "spooky action from distance" you've noticed) with the Decorator & Strategy patterns, very simple patterns, even those who don't know about patterns are probably using them without knowing.
- different-opini 12y agoThere are people, who prefer pure C, without OOP's "spooky action from distance". Just like language support for OOP concepts, AOP gives you a higher level of abstraction to solve complex problems.
- PeterGriffin2 12y agoThank you for your generic argument, but I can tell you have no idea what AOP is if you'll take that quote, which points out a very specific issue in AOP and apply it to OOP in general. Pray tell, what "complex problem" have you solved with AOP? The only thing people ever talk about is adding logging, tracing and metrics. That's the opposite of a complex problem (and I'd argue AOP doesn't really solve it beyond toy tutorials).
