My impression is that using Debugger.jl is much faster than debugging in VS Code
Usage:
import Debugger
Debugger.@enter function_name(parameters)
vs
@enter function_name(parameters)
directly in VS Code
My impression is that In VS Code the debugger is slow downed by waiting on variables to be shown in Variables on left panel. (maybe not)
In REPL Debugger after @entering the function I can press C to toggle compiled mode and afterwards I can step through the function very rapidly. In VS Code by enabling compiled mode I can not see any significant improvement.
