AspectScript is an aspect language that integrates with the characterizing features of JavaScript such as first-class and higher-order functions, dynamic typing, and prototype-based programming. AspectScript is based on the pointcut-advice mechanism and includes the followings state-of-the-art AOP features: |
| * **Higher-order aspects**: AspectScript is directly inspired by [[http://www.cs.usask.ca/~cjd032/downloads/AspectScheme/|AspectScheme]], in which aspects, pointcuts, and advices are first-class values. Consequently, they can be created and manipulated at runtime. An aspect in AspectScript is a pointcut-advice pair; pointcuts and advices are plain JavaScript functions. This feature allows programmers to use the full power of higher-order programming in AOP. | * **Higher-order aspects**: AspectScript is directly inspired by [[http://www.cs.usask.ca/~cjd032/downloads/AspectScheme/|AspectScheme]], in which aspects, pointcuts, and advices are first-class values.
