Maybe so but five years maybe too short to decide this.

Consider that the core ideas of LISP -- interpretation,
garbage-collection, s-exps-as-universal data-structure (now XML) have
taken 50 years to get into the mainstream.

Of course its also true that the number of dead-end ideas exceeds the successes.
My own guess is that AOP via higher order functions and metaclasses
will be more successful than via aspectj and code-generation.

In short python will do better than java. And so.. thanks for the link

Thanks Michele. But there are a couple of questions on this:

a. Does one have to use python 3000 for this?
b. Are there more example-oriented writings on this (such as the
papers you and mertz wrote on this stuff within the older paradigm
c. Where does peak stand today?
