Dynamic Languages in Production - Progress and Open Challenges

Explore the challenges and progress in debugging dynamic languages in production environments through this GOTO Aarhus 2012 conference talk. Delve into the experiences of Joyent's Bryan Cantrill and Dave Pacheco as they discuss issues encountered in deployed Node.js-based systems. Learn about innovative tools developed for both postmortem analysis and in situ debugging, designed to illuminate the complexities of modern JIT'd VMs in production. Gain insights into the often-overlooked aspect of language design focused on debugging capabilities in real-world scenarios.
