Subject: Re: AOP and Ruby

After creating numerous implementations of varyng degrees of capability
in this regard I can tell you from experience: It is possible to do AOP
in Ruby utilizing reflection and metaclasses, but it certinaly isn't
convenient nor generally efficient, and for obvious reasons. These
features were not designed with AOP in mind.

So what are you after exactly? Are you in search of an active AOP
implementaiton other then AspectR? Or how to AOP in Ruby "as-is" with
its current meta-features. Or somehing more general? I may be able to
provide some answers, more or less.
