A fundamental change in our thinking about such tools makes that presumption obsolete. By building instrumentation directly into the core of a high-performance language implementation framework, tool-support can be always on, with confidence that optimization will apply uniformly to instrumentation and result in near zero overhead. Tools can be always available (and fast), not only for end user programmers, but also for language implementors throughout development. %@ 978-1-4503-3657-4
