Okay, sometimes debuggers don't help... but sometimes they do! And often it's necessary to step back and think... but sometimes having some key information (like the value of the arguments to my function, or of some other locals, that led to the error) makes the thinking a lot more productive.

You can find the vim component here: > https://github.com/dgrnbrg/vim-redl and the Clojure component here: > https://github.com/dgrnbrg/redl This sounds pretty neat... but I also don't use Vim. (It's also not completely clear to me from this description if you can get the locals from the context of an error, rather than from a manual suspension.) Is there anything that will provide the values of locals at an error (whether interactively or in a big dump) regardless of the IDE or launch method that one uses? Or if there's nothing that's so general then is there anything that would work from a call to "lein run" or from Clooj or from Eclipse/CCW?
