Some Java IDEs (e.g. Eclipse) give the possibility to have breakpoints when a watched variable changes value. I was wondering if this is also possible for Julia. Currently I am mostly using REPL and the [Debugger.jl](https://github.com/JuliaDebug/Debugger.jl) but more general solutions are also welcome.
