Resumen
In the context of our research on Aspect-Oriented Programming, we have a need for a modern and powerful
aspect language for Smalltalk. Current aspect languages for Smalltalk however fall short on various points.
To address this deficit, we elected to design and build PHANtom: a modern aspect language for Pharo
Smalltalk. PHANtom is designed to be an aspect language in the spirit of Smalltalk: dynamic, simple, and
powerful. PHANtom is a modern aspect language because it incorporates the best features of languages that
precede it, includes recent research results in aspect interactions and reentrancy control, and is designed
from the onset to be optimized and compiled where possible. In this paper, we present the latest version of
the language and give examples and patterns of use.
