AOP is still early-days computer science, of arguable benefit and I
would be deeply concerned if the RS management decided to venture
down this path.
Of far more interest to me is improving the core product stability
and performance.
Beyond that, making the XML libraries pluggable and helping build
services to use RB in service-oriented archictures is more likely to
be applicable to mainstream developers and help small developers
target a component market (do I hear 'OpenDoc business model'
floating somewhere around?).
BTW AOP is possible in RB right now using the XML export. The XSLT
programming language is also the kind of pattern-matching language
well suited for identifying aspect join points. You could go roll
your own and report back to the rest of us how useful it is in
practice ;-)
