Julia Debugger - not enough attention

Please not this again. This was debated to death at How do you use debuggers?. Some people can’t live without debuggers, some people don’t use them at all, and there really isn’t much point for one side trying to convince the other that they do/don’t need a debugger. Julia devs have stated that a debugger is on their radar, but that this is highly non-trivial due to the dynamic nature of the language, there are other features/bugs that need developing, and there is a very limited amount of people able and available to do such work. Unless somebody with the right skillset and availability is willing to devote the time to do it, or somebody has a cache of money to pay such a person, this kind of discussion is not going to be very productive.
