This evening I was talking to a few people about how cool DTrace is,
and how unfortunate it is that it's not being ported to Linux. I was
under the impression that there were technical impedance mismatches
between Solaris and Linux that prevented it, but that's not true.
Apparently the real problem is a big licensing pissing war. *cries*

obPerl: Also in reading tonight I found that in addition to Ruby,
there's also now DTrace support in PHP and Java. (And it seems that
someone has made patches for Python, although I don't think it's made
it into a release yet.) It would be great if Perl got caught up in
this regard.
