= Looking Glass

Looking Glass is a tracer and profiler for Erlang/OTP.

== Goals

Looking Glass is the next generation profiling tool. It is implemented as an erl_tracer NIF and thus requires Erlang/OTP 22.0 or above.

Looking Glass aims to provide a very efficient tool usable both in development and production settings, and capable of running for a long amount of time even on busy systems.
