Last semester I had a chance to work with DTrace. In particular, I helped implementing custom DTrace instrumentation in Encore and Pony. Encore is a new programming language which extends Pony. The language is being developed at Uppsala University. In this blog I will explain why you want to use DTrace, how we use it, and how to add it to your application.
MiniZinc is a free and open-source constraint modeling language
