PostSharp releases its next AOP technology: Metalama
-
[^] I've used PostSharp in the past years, and like the concepts of Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) ... handling application "cross cutting" code concerns once, avoiding rewriting boilerplate, etc. Metalama ... see the features coverage in the link ... appears to take that significantly further in terms of integration with VS, Roslyn compilers, LINQ, the ability to save/view/debug either your original aspect-annotated code ... or, the code that will actually run after compile time "expansion" of the aspects. Full disclosure: I had a comp copy of PostSharp for a few years, thanks to Gael Freitur (founder) who patiently handled some questions from me I now realize were quite naive :) selected AOP references: [^], [^], [^] Also, check out use of AOP in other tools: Frody, Spring, etc., which I have never used. p.s. nice to be back here in a limited way with eyesight improved/improving :)
