Interesting that you'd say OO C++ is hard to debug. With the proper tools, I've found it as easy as, well, interpreted LISP. Now distributed message passing code, on the other hand, is hard to debug. I don't care what language it was written in. The proper tools, like TotalView help a lot, but distributed acynchronous code is just plain difficult to debug.
