nightowl7085yThis is me sometimes. Particularly for scripting languages. I'll happily break out gdb for some C or C++ debugging but this is often the first thing I'll try.

@nitwhiz What if each time you want to know the result of intermediate results? Say, every 10k iterations. That's going to require complicated breakpoints and you might lose oversight in comparison to just setting a println there.
I find that trying to follow breakpoints confuses me more than just seeing all the results in one second.
