Aspect-Oriented Programming Considered Harmful

Posted by Zonk on from the smoking-bad-for-programmers-too dept.

kupci writes "The 'x considered harmful' cry is a little overused, but there is a Forrester report that discusses some of the pro's and con's of Aspect-oriented Programming, and includes some interesting links. It is mainly based on papers from the University of Passau. It's worth it just for Clark's 'COME FROM' article." From the article: "Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is intended to address common problems that object-oriented programming (OOP) doesn't address well, plus some problems that OOP itself created. However, AOP is a risky solution: It is a very generic mechanism for solving some very specific concerns and has been likened to a kind of "GOTO" statement for OOP. Like GOTO, it can cause more harm than good."

    And C is assembly language in fancy dress. C++ adds garish accessories to the dress-up.

    Well done, you can do the exact same thing without goto by merely inverting the if-condition.
