Thanks. I forget how seriously people take religion (despite all the evidence out there). I just wanted to share my observations but not push an agenda. Obviously topics are sensitive which makes rational discussions impossible.
I have no problem with you sharing an observation. I do have an issue with you denigrating people who have faith.

Good Karma all around.
> we probably need to capture some of the value of this technology via a for-profit company
I hope this doesn't mean making it proprietary. I mean obviously a person gets to decide how to best compensate themselves for the fruits of their labor. But I've seen too many compelling technologies fail to achieve the impact they could have because they were proprietary.
I mean, DTrace languishes despite being open-source, because it wasn't open-source enough

"Christian" ... Since when has it become fashionable to define oneself by religion? I mean especially in professional circles like software development. I don't expect to see "Jew" or "Moozlim" (sic) or "Amoral Atheist" used to define people. Lots of respect for his work but I it does turn me off because of what it might imply As far as personal biases.
Then you see it's Hillsong, and it all begins to make sense. If you don't know what Hillsong is... well.. Wikipedia. :)
What is it with Mozilla people and this sort of stuff?

DTrace doesn't languish. It just doesn't have a Linux port, because of people's contrived rewriting of the history of the GPL.
And for those that have no idea what rr is: http://rr-project.org/ So no, he is not leaving for "rest and relaxation"
To be fair, people also think "rest and relaxation" is amazing, and we probably need to capture some of the value of this technology via a for-profit company as well.

This is a technology that received an innovation award from the Wall Street Journal in 2006. Whatever impact DTrace is having today, it should have been much larger.
