In large apps I find myself really wishing I had built-in AOP facilities. As it stands in C# the best you can do is factories and RealProxys, PostSharp, ICorDebug, ICorProfiler or injection frameworks. There is no clean built-in way of doing AOP.
Is there any indication anywhere (blog post / internal discussion) that indicates that AOP is on the way?

AOP (aspect-oriented programming) is a programming style that can be adopted to define certain policies that in turn are used to define and manage the cross-cutting concerns in an application. In essence, it's a programming paradigm that enables your application to be adaptable to changes.
Nowadays I see some AOP still around, but it seems to have faded into the background. Even Gregor Kiczales (inventor of AOP) called it a 15% solution. So I guess AOP has its reason for existence, but it depends on the individual developer to use it the right way.
Spring Boot Starter AOP is a dependency that provides Spring AOP and AspectJ. Where AOP provides basic AOP capabilities while the AspectJ provides a complete AOP framework. In the next section, we will implement the different advices in the application.
Romain's answer covers (almost :) perfectly the current solutions. As for the future support, Anders Hejlsberg has previously stated that they'were in wait & see mode about AOP.
We can only hope that with the managed rewrite of csc, and a «Compiler as a Service», one could plug into the compiler, and inject aspects there.
