Well, I just dove in and studied AOP until it clicked. <click> :) It seems a natural evolution, but is kind of clunky for static languages such as Java or C++....

Hi Members of Langsmiths, My name is Kimanzi Mati and I have invented an object oriented programming language based on the XML version 1.0 specification. The...
I saw this in a newgroup when he first posted it. Why WHY! XML?? XML is great for storing data, but XSLT? x++? Ok, so you can write a language in xml. I...
This is to suggest that writers who write replies not quote the original, unless replying point-by-point. Readers can see the original in the message archive...
