Debugger Backend

• In-Browser Debugging
  • This is an implementation of James Long based on Exceptional Continuations in JavaScript paper. It’s an approach to build an in-browser debugger, kind of.
  • The idea behind this is, transform the input script into a state-machine where each execution scope is a state, stepping thru the code mean switching between states.
  • The approach seems like there’s an absurb amount of work, but it’s still interesting.
