[Haskell-cafe] Re: how do you debug programs?

thinking helps, but claiming that tools can't help doesn't.

Lets be absolutely clear about this: I've never claimed that tools can't help. In this thread I've been using the term debugger in the narrow sense implied by the OP's question -- something that steps through the execution of the code. Such a debugger is inappropriate for Haskell programmers, and doubly so for beginners. -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn@cl.cam.ac.uk
