Hi folks. Today Adrian released an integration between the Squeak/Pharo VM and DTrace. I read his post and the code and seems VERY interested. I know very very little about Moose, but I guess if moose wants to move on, it should start to analyze more the runtime world. For such purpose, it will requiere PROBABLY (almost sure) a particular VM.  For example, what I plan to do now (playing with DistributionMap and used/unused objects) will requiere my own VM. In this case of Adrian too. So....

The Adrian's post can be found here: http://www.adrian-lienhard.ch/blog
Please take a look. Not necessary to the implementation details but to the features it can you you.

Finally, read the last sentence: "DTrace by itself does not provide visualizations but since its output can be formatted as required (using printf) and piped into a file, one can feed the data to a visualization tool (e.g., print output in MSE format, import it into Moose, and create interactive visualizations with Mondrian)."

Cheers

Mariano
