Debugging Clojure Code Wtih Cursive
summary
Cursive embeds a JDI-based JVM debugger into IntelliJ that delivers breakpoints, stepping, hover and full expression evaluation on the debug JVM, and it runs inside the REPL so you get REPL-integrated stepping and inspected locals painted into the editor. It supports conditional and exception breakpoints, stack-frame dropping, and logging-without-stopping, and it generally works well for large Clojure codebases; caveats include macro-expansion surprises, source-to-bytecode mismatch and occasional performance hits.
