Sun's DTrace vs red hat systemtap
Today at work i heard a colleague of mine talk about DTrace being available for linux so i wanted to find out where that piece of info came from.
google found info about a project from red hat called systemtap.
i was already smirking and laughing about it when i heard the dude mention the words "DTrace for linux" :)
wanna know what the google search got me?
here's a quote from a story from a red hat employee:
"There's still work to do, but Red Hat is headed in the right direction, analyst Iams said. "If you do a head-to-head comparison with DTrace, you'll see SystemTap is not anywhere near as powerful," he said".
geez, i really wasn't expecting that kind of conclusion ;)
do these guys really think that they can build such a fantastically kool tool as Sun's DTrace after Sun having released it and having developed it for prolly a couple of years already?
