I might need some help - if anyone knows Javascript pretty well, including some weird and uncommon details like how the devtools protocol works, how the debugger interface work, etc, please let me know. I'm thinking about making some "tracing library" to JS, essentially adding the ability to search for local variables everywhere without instrumenting or changing the code that's running right now, possibly without any kind of source code transformation (but I'm also open for that, maybe with Babel or something). Anyone knows this level of detail in JS, and is willing to help? 😄

something like FlowStorm but for JavaScript?

It seems like Babel is only option in this scenario.

For debugger, we have to stop them at breakpoints to capture stack-trace and variable values.

It doesn't yet, but it does support Python too.

Yes, essentially 🙂. It's for my Lazuli project: https://gitlab.com/clj-editors/lazuli

Does this project support JavaScript as well? It seems to support Clojure, ClojureScript and Ruby.

DCD and BabashkaConf were really inspiring and my creative muscles feel flexed, so here's some offtopic writing that hopefully is also inspiring to someone. :) https://blog.danieljanus.pl/singing/
