This may have been asked and answered. Apologies if redundant.
The improvement in stateless compilation time in 5.3 has made the debugger a practical tool for me. (thanks again)
Is it technically feasible to evaluate simple expressions in the dynamic extent of the point at which code is paused?
The evaluation context could be tightly surrounded by a barrier so that the user couldn't change the dynamic extent by invoking a continuation or otherwise confuse the debugger as to where the program is halted.
To summarize: upon code halting, open a REPL in a barrier-enclosed thread in the interactions window.
I think this would add tremendous value. R./ Zack ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
