Yes! The debugger can actually be smooth to use. And with this little trick, you can surgically Debug!

Essentially this involves incorporating the → 'arrow' syntax, and a standard use of Lambdas to bypass the ever abundant "context". Some other functions for println, and colored Debug are also included.

Here are the snippets for easy access. Though the actual document is fully commented.

var c is Context = context;
var clrs = [DebugColor.RED, DebugColor.GREEN, DebugColor.BLUE, DebugColor.CYAN, DebugColor.MAGENTA, DebugColor.YELLOW, DebugColor.ORANGE]; // DebugColor.BLACK

var d = s => { c -> debug(s); return s; };
var dc = (s, clr is DebugColor) => { c -> debug(s, clr); return s; };

var p = (arr is array) => println(arr -> foldArray((a, b) => { return a ~ "\n" ~ toString(b); }));
var pl = (s is string) => println("-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-" ~ (s != "" ? " [" ~ s ~ "] -" : "" ) ~ "=-=-=-=-=-=-=-");

Nice to meet same arrow syntax abuser as myself 😅

Using for long time an overload of debug function which takes value as first argument and context as second one and returns value.

export function debugReturn(value, context is Context)

{

debug(context, value);

return value;

}

Thank you everyone for responding! I'll be reaching out over the next few days! To save future people's time, I think enough people have reached out that this is closed for now!
