Cobra Forums

I'm a big fan of scripting languages, and I'm guessing Chuck is familiar with pdb for Python.
For me ( I do a lot of scripting ) it's the most efficient way of debugging stuff, and having this sort of power in a language like this would be awesome.
Does something like that exist for Cobra?

Cobra rides on top of .NET and Mono. Also it generates the same kinds of classes, methods and statements that C# and VB use, so you can leverage tools like debuggers and profilers.

Debugging programs include:

Code: Select all

DbgCLR.exe
Mdbg.exe
Cordbg.exe

This blog post gives some useful information on debugging .NET programs sans Visual Studio:

Looks like mdbg.exe is closest to pdb.

You might also use an IDE on your executable such as Visual Studio, MonoDevelop or SharpDevelop.

As soon as I get more familiar with Cobra, I'm gonna do a rewrite of my Ruby projects.
I did a similar experiment with Scala, but in terms of development speed, I have the impression Cobra will be faster.

Don't forget to use -d as in "cobra -d ..." to create debugging symbols.
