DTrace and the Linux bunker mentality http://blogs.zdnet.com/Murphy/?p=1198
One of the happening stories these days is that, "Linux developers are narrow-minded/socially-inept/etc.". There's a lot of psychologizing going on among the blogging-set. Yadda yadda yadda. I read this article because it said "DTrace", and what I got was the psychologizing. What do you guys think of this? The blogger says, "Why aren't the Linux people porting DTrace?". I thought the reason was licensing issues. Legal incompatibility. He didn't say anything about that, but rather suggested that kernel developers: 1) see Sun as the enemy 2) [are] still reacting to SCO by pretending that Linux isn't Unix and they're a copy-nothing shop 3) don't have IBM's cheerful certainty that the customer won't know where the ideas came from 4) didn't invent it 5) all of the above And I suspect that "industry standard" is a little strong when describing DTrace. But what do I know? -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
