@runarorama this is a quite ridiculous statement

@oxbow_lakes @runarorama why should running the code and inspecting program state be necessary to understand it?

@jedws @oxbow_lakes @runarorama Who said it was *necessary*? It's a tool in your belt.

@jroper @oxbow_lakes @runarorama it is a tool I no longer need to use, thankfully

@jedws @oxbow_lakes @runarorama Sounds like you've got everything's a nail syndrome.

@jroper @oxbow_lakes @runarorama lol, the only time I need to debug is when diagnosing crappy old Java libs bequeathed by cowboys

@jedws @oxbow_lakes @runarorama is it really about whether you need to? Or whether you can? Debugging functional code is near impossible.

@jroper A statement so obtuse & backwards it makes me wonder if you've actually seen any. @jedws @oxbow_lakes @runarorama
