Re: [racket-users] Evaluating whatever expression halfway a debugging session

First thing, thank you all for the consideration you're giving to my request. A bit of background. I'm studying the meaning of continuations and their role in building useful constructs; think at generators/iterators/coroutines, as they're coming to JavaScript. I am kind of smelling already that

Re: [racket-users] Evaluating whatever expression halfway a debugging session

Yes, I agree that Mist is what is out there when I look a things such as node.js and other works of art that re-discover continuations and friends. I spent the first N years of my research life thinking and publishing about continuations. Simple conclusion: call/cc is not it. I introduced

Re: [racket-users] Evaluating whatever expression halfway a debugging session

I think it woudl be kind of cool to add abort and call/cc (plus a good set of delimited operators, of course) to ASL or to define ASL+ as including those. (Or maybe ASL-- and take out state?) I can see John's point about the work involved, but it is hard to imagine a better learning environment

Following up on this, here’s a simple test case, written in the stepper’s test case language. One amusing UI note: what should be highlighted as the “before” of the invocation-of-continuation step? The application of the continuation, or the whole program? ;; this is just a sketch... (t

[racket-users] Evaluating whatever expression halfway a debugging session

This question has been asked in 2012 and the fact that no reply has been posted makes me think this is a dead track. But nevertheless... I see that during a debugging session I can hover above an expression and rightclick to send its value to the console or so set! it something else. What I
