ABSTRACT
Context-oriented programming (COP) extensions have been implemented for several languages. Each concrete language design and implementation comes with different variations of the features of the COP paradigm. In this paper, we provide a comparison of eleven COP implementations, discuss their designs, and evaluate their performance.
