I've been looking for a simple and convenient to use clojure debugger for ages now and would love to hear your recommendations. I'm a vim-fireplace user as well, if that makes a difference.
I'd love to be able to set breakpoints in a running clojure application, step through the code and inspect locals and the referencing environment. Anything that gets me off of the time-consuming process of adding timbre/clojure.tools.trace statements would be really welcome. Is vim-redl the closest I can get to that, or is ritz the way to go? Any other recommendations? I'll have to checkout JoC2's chapter on that, that sounds really helpful.
