Yes, it can be slow and it requires some set up. I see this as a feature: make it possible but not easy (I'm not saying it can be made easier, it's probably the best that can be done today).
The truth is that live debugging production servers should hardly ever be undertaken. If at all. It's really silly to even think this is an acceptable way to fix production servers and when I see this argument being offered to support a language (looking at you Erlang and Smalltalk), it just makes me wonder whether its proponents have ever dealt with production servers at all. -- Cédric -- Cédric On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 9:17 PM, phil swenson <phil.swen...@gmail.com>wrote: > well that’s what I do usually….
