Not sure what the OP's interest is but FWIW the cases in which I most often want to break (and look around, e.g. using a REPL -- see previous message) are neither of these. Often I'm deep inside of some long-running computation that's not buggy in any of these straightforward senses but in which I want to see what's going on -- e.g. maybe because some structure got bigger than I expected and this is leading to an exponential slowdown somewhere, etc. Perhaps some of the suggestions later in your message provide a path towards a general "interrupt and look around" solution? That would be great. If I may be permitted (another) curmudgeonly wisecrack, this seems to be another area in which modern software development environments are slowly being dragged forward to where good lisp environments were a quarter of a century (!) ago. :-) -Lee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
