I wouldn’t give up so easy, if I were you. Julia is in fact so well-designed that in the past year or so I wrote a package of some 5000 source code lines, and I never needed a debugger in the first place.

In addition, there is now the [Rebugger](https://github.com/timholy/Rebugger.jl)! People who tried it say it is great.

From my Matlab days I remember that the debugger was a must. But then again, Matlab to Julia is as a dirt dugout is to ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/d/9/d9798a9eb2bdaf654bf7a478bc8d3501dbabc79f.jpeg) .
