Taking the Pain Out of Debugging With Live Programming

[sl4shd0t]

angry tapir writes "'Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place,' Brian Kernighan once wrote (adding: 'So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?') However, Sean McDirmid, a researcher at Microsoft, has been working to remove some of the pain from debugging. McDirmid, based at Microsoft Research Asia, has been studying ways of implementing usable live programming environments: a solution that is less intrusive than classical debuggers. The idea is to essentially provide a programming environment in which editing of code and the execution of code occur simultaneously — and in the same interface as code editing — with tools to track the state of variables in a more or less live manner." http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Taking+the+Pain+Out+of+Debugging+With+ Live+Programming%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F16XYzol) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F13%2F04%2F15%2F1156241%2Ftaking-the-pain-out-of-debugging-with-live-programming%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3 Dfacebook) http://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/gplus-16.png (http://plus.google.com/share?url=http://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/04/15/1156241/taking-the-pain-out-of-debugging-with-live-programming?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=googleplus)
