[snip] Hmmm... I'd put it down to two things: * There is less need for AOP because there are other ways (like meta- classes, multiple inheritance of behaviour, macros, etc.) to solve the problems that AOP helps with in Java. * There are AOP-ish mechanisms in the languages that mean people don't see AOP as a separate "thing", just a specialised way of using the those features in that particular language.
