if you were to create a new programming language, what kind of new/unknown debugging methods would you have for it?
New methods of debugging
Sebastian Ramirez
Nicholas Nguyen
make the languega tell you what's wrong and how to fix it!
Jordan Kelly
it might be possible to some extent if something like en.m.wikipedia.org
Brayden Nelson
Probably just Common Lisp's debug methods together with checkpointing. This doesn't really require a new language though.
Jonathan Gonzalez
The field of debugging is complete. I can't imagine any new kind of print statement that one might need. Every existing language supports comprehensive string and number printing. More modern languages support printing of arbitrary data types, including arrays and structures. I've seen some languages that will even print out function definitions. Everything a person could need printed can already be printed, there is nothing new to add.

This, when a Common Lisp program crashes you are dropped right into the debugger. You can fix the source code, re-compile it and have your program running right at the point where it crashed. Not to mention that the debugger is running in Lisp as well, so you use the same language for debugging as for writing the code.

Don't forget *debugger-hook*.

I'd provide a graphical map of all instantiated objects that could be navigated.

Most IDEs provide both call and type hierarchy tree views.
