One of the very nice things in a programmer’s toolbox is a debugger. Coming from Emacs, I am accustommed to Edebug, which allows to step through the code, install breakpoints (conditional ones as well as unconditional ones), watch variables etc. Programming in JavaScript is (or at least should be) no different. Indeed, both Firefox and Chromium have a debugger in their DevTools (although Chromium’s one seems a tad more confusing). This is all good when I’m debugging front-end code, but I often work on some backend code in Node.js. Fortunately, it can be debugged, too.
