Abstract
Aspect-oriented programming is considered a promising new technology. As object-oriented programming did before, it is beginning to pervade all areas of software engineering. With its growing popularity, practitioners and academics alike are wonder-ing whether they should start looking into it, or otherwise risk having missed an important development. The author of this essay finds that much of aspect-oriented programming’s success seems to be based on the conception that it improves both modularity and the structure of code, while in fact, it works against the pri-mary purposes of the two, namely independent development and understandability of programs. Not seeing any way of fixing this situation, he thinks the success of aspect-oriented programming to be paradoxical.
