Comments on: Debugging with Distel http://yarivsblog.com/articles/2008/01/29/debugging-with-distel/ Adventures in Open Source Erlang Thu, 29 Apr 2010 00:37:22 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Anonymous http://yarivsblog.com/articles/2008/01/29/debugging-with-distel/comment-page-1/#comment-421986 Anonymous Sun, 28 Jun 2009 01:13:04 +0000 http://yarivsblog.com/articles/2008/01/29/debugging-with-distel/#comment-421986 That's basically my biggest beef with Vim (which I use for Python and Ruby, for the most part the only two languages I know in any real sense of the word). I've keymapped to save the file and execute, which then displays the output or throws an error, but once things start getting big, I have to switch to Eclipse for debugging and stuff, which is a pity, because Vim's <a href="http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1318" rel="nofollow">TextMate Snippet Emulation</a> and OmniComplete as well as the general text editing features of Vim itself stomp all over Eclipse and Netbeans. I recently started to try to learn Erlang, which basically entails using emacs, and the chording is killing me, but at least Erlang mode in emacs is pretty nice otherwise. Honestly, if I could just set Eclipse to use Vi keybindings and plugins, I'd switch to that in an instant.

I don't see a need for these heavyweight desktop apps. I'd love to be able to just log into my running app in an admin port and start hacking it. I know SmallTalk has something similar, but I want one for Erlang. With Comet, you can even implement real-time debugging. If Javascript is too slow, you can outsource the performance-intensive tasks to Flash9. In fact, I would write it in haXe so you can compile it either to Javascript or to Flash.

And TextMate for Erlang just looks good but has little functionality and is mac only. And improving Erlang support (I gave it a try, see erlymate.googelecode.com) is even a bigger hassle, because TextMate is closed source, by a one-man company, so obviously nobody wants to take the risk to really focus on that.
