I blogged about the goals of the project <a href="http://blog.aspectprogramming.com/">here</a>. Briefly, they are <ul> <li>Create a powerful <i>pointcut language</i>, the most important part of an AOP toolkit. <li>Provide Robust support for concurrent <i>advice</i> at the same <i>join point.</i>. <li>Provide runtime addition and removal of aspects.</li> <li>Provide a test bed for implementation ideas for <a href="http://www.martinfowler.com/bliki/DomainSpecificLanguage.html">DSL's</a>.</li> </ul> There is extensive documentation at the <a href="http://aquarium.rubyforge.org/">Aquarium</a> site. Please give it a try and let me know what you think!
