Due to the closure of a related [thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-do-you-use-debuggers/4580/140), I choose to ask my questions here - Is an official Julia-v1.0-compatible debugger being considered/planned at the moment? By ‘official’, I mean a debugger like the one (ASTIntepreter2) which works with v0.6 and can be embedded in **JuliaPro**. If so, when will it be available? I know that an exact date is impossible. So I’m asking for a (very, or very very) rough estimate, which, at least, can give me a **hope**. I **really really really** depend on a reliable debugger to work with large packages written by others. So any info is much appreciated!!!
