Of course you can. You can use debug prints. You can edit the C++:
the generated code is actually documented. There's a special flag
to generate heaps of documentation.

And Felix has debugging features in the language.

And most importantly .. the developer -- me -- is highly sensitive
to user requirements. If you need extra debugging support I'll
provide it.

Read carefully. *user* requirements. If you're not using it,
I'll have fun arguing with you but it's unlikely anything will be done.

You have to write code. There are tons of examples.
There are hundreds of pages of documented examples in the
tutorial and regression tests, plus several varying size tools
from a file copy utility to a complete webserver, written
in Felix.

There is evidence it is easy to learn. I had an electrical engineer
with C++ knowledge write a complete prepaid phone service
in Felix in 3 days. Several other developers wrote stuff just
as fast -- Mike Maul wrote a Wiki in around a week. And then
a package manager in about the same time. Shayne actually
wrote some stuff using Monads which is really advanced
and really pushed the type system.

I kinda wish people would start off doing more basic stuff,
but the point is Felix is really easy to learn and use.
