If the OCaml debugger is not widely used, what do OCaml developers use to explore programs instead?
For the past few weeks I’ve been trying to work with ocamldebug
, with limited success. Various places online claim that few OCaml developers use it, and that it has not been actively developed in many years. Basic functionality does not work; for example, the “can’t find any event there” issue has been around for over a decade and has not been addressed. This is a bit odd coming from other programming languages where the debugger is a critical tool for exploring codebases and determining why something is not working. What do OCaml developers use instead of the debugger? A REPL?
