AOP in Clojure

[Nebojsa Stricevic]

Hi,

Are there any general purpose libraries/frameworks with nice API/DSL
for Aspect Oriented Programming for Clojure? Or is there someone
working on it? Is it needed? Possible?

Cheers,

[Shantanu Kumar]

I think what a Ring middleware[1] does might be very close what you
want to do with AOP. Clojure has a natural way to "decorate" an
existing body of code using higher order functions and macros.

Could you share some use cases that you want to achieve with AOP?

Regards,
Shantanu

I agree with Shantanu and feel that Ring is a nice example of AOP
behaviour using functions. For a general purpose library you may find
Robert Hooke useful:

Thanks for these answers. I forgot about Robert Hooke, although I've
seen it already. I don't have a real use case yet. I'm researching
Domain Specific Languages composition/combining, so AOP could be
useful. I've checked some Clojure tracing code, I'll dig into Ring
more and Robert Hooke looks very useful.

Greets,
