I totally agree! Preparing some materials for introducing Guile to
GuixHPC folk, I am trying to collect some tips and, if I am honest, the
debugging experience with Guile is really poor; compared to others (as
Python). For example, DrRacket provides an easy and nice user
experience [1] – where it is easy to compare each intermediary result in
the debugger. For what it is worth, I have not been able to have some
similar inspections as in [1]. Maybe, I am missing something…
Well, IMHO, we are somehow suffering from some Guile limitations and
improvements in this area are an hard task.
Cheers,
simon
