AOP Languages

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) languages are designed to separate cross-cutting concerns in software development, such as logging, security, or performance monitoring. Instead of scattering this code throughout the application, AOP allows programmers to define these concerns in distinct modules, known as "aspects." This approach improves code readability and maintainability by centralizing common functionalities. When the main application runs, the AOP framework weaves these aspects into the desired locations, effectively enhancing the core code without altering its structure. Popular AOP frameworks include AspectJ for Java and PostSharp for .NET.
