Hi all, I agree that it was an interesting article.
However, since AspectJ is an extension to Java, most of oVirt developers would need to know additional programming language which puts the cost-effectiveness of this approach into question.
Actually you only need to learn some very basic stuff about pointcut definition. The rest was pure Java for anything I ever needed (before, after and around cases). DSLs are a nice thing to have, and we can start by utilizing object builders more :) Those are a kind of DSL too if nicely written. See the latest email on this list from Roman Mohr that talks about Domain Object Builders (or Spring Security Java configuration [2] to see a more complicated example of how it is used elsewhere).

I always thought that good Java developers should be familiar with AOP concepts anyway.
That said, I really like the combo of AOP with DSL (or ASL) and I agree that it can simplify handling concerns in a way that is much closer to app's domain, rather than being closer to its implementation (as with AOP).

Hi All,
Last month I participated in Modularity'16, an academic conference that focuses on advanced software modularization techniques, where I presented my work in the area of domain specific aspect languages that was evaluated on oVirt.
Many have asked me to elaborate on this work, so I wrote a post that explains the idea and provides references to relevant materials that were presented in the conference, which I would like to share with you: http://ahadas.github.io/oVirt-Specifc-Aspect-Languages/
