Re:AOP has its uses (without going to production!) (Score 1)

let me understand: you're saying that you advocate usage of AOP because it allow you to: - enforce design decisions - detect design violations - define and enforce contracts - detect threading issues - get a sense of code coverage - turning stuff on and off at compile time So basically you're saying that Design by Contract is great but that instead of using Eiffel it is better to use a patented tool wich basically works as a preprocessor or as an ugly JVM hack ?
