Using a paid tool completely runs against the ideological reasons for why I want to work in Julia in the first place. So if I cannot find any other viable way to use Julia then I will likely stay out of Julia. However I will get the 7 day trial and see what the experience is like.
I just tried flexible Julia and while it was able to pass the troublesome line without issue, it unfortunately crashes on a later line. However the debugger is missing a debugging console and the error message it returns when crashing is not really very useful.
So while it seems promising it also doesn’t seem to have all the options I need in order to use it for general Julia debugging.
