Technical criticisms include that the quantification of pointcuts (defining where advices are executed) is "extremely sensitive to changes in the program", which is known as the ''fragile pointcut problem''.<ref name="steimann"/> The problems with pointcuts are deemed intractable: if one replaces the quantification of pointcuts with explicit annotations, one obtains attribute-oriented programming instead, which is simply an explicit subroutine call and suffers the identical problem of scattering that AOP was designed to solve.<ref name="steimann"/>

==Implementations==s

The following [[programming language]]s have implemented AOP, within the language, or as an external library:
