Hehe, ok, explaining AOP in a few paragraphs is kinda hard... Please let me be lazy here and point you to a Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect-oriented_programming In short, AOP helps you inject cross-cutting concerns into your code base. By injecting these concerns at compile-time, its even possible to automatically implement interfaces or support partial classes. We already tried implementing a runtime version of this using as3commons-bytecode and as3commons-aop, but supporting this stuff @ compile-time will make it a lot more powerful. cheers, Roland
