Dear fellow Oz programmers, I guess that it already happened to many of you that your program blocks without any error message (e.g., the program performs some operation on a free variable and just waits for more information to be bound to that variable before it can continue). This ability is clearly a strength of the language.
On the other hand, accidental blocks are also particularly frustrating bugs for the programmer, because the language gives no feedback about the cause of the problem. I often have spend hours identifying some trivial cause, because it took so long to isolate the bug. Quite likely, this is the single kind of bug on which I spend by far most time fixing them. Question: what are your strategies for fixing blocking programs? Thanks a lot!
