Episode 11: Interview Gregor Kiczales

In this Episode we have the pleasure of talking with Gregor
Kiczales. Gregor is one of the fathers of aspect-oriented
programming (AOP). Today he is a professor of computer science at
the University of British Columbia. Back in his days at Xerox Parc,
he and a number of other people worked on the early forms of AOP as
well as on some of its forerunners, such as meta object protocols.
In this interview, we talk about a number of interesting topics,
such as the history of AOP, the relationship of AO to interceptors,
the industry acceptance of AOP, early aspects (i.e. using AO in
development phased before implementation) as well as adoption
strategies for AOP.
