hi (i'm the guy who created this app) ... the purpose of this app is to be an educational tool (e.g., visualizing how data structures change over time), so it's not really filling the same role as a symbolic debugger.

- jayliew 16y agowhen I first saw this, I was thinking to myself "great, someone threw PDB into a web app" and was going to write it off until I saw that on every step of the way, you actually also visually output the contents of all the variables. In PDB, you have to manually know what's there and explicitly type in the command to inspect it. People learning how to program don't know where all the knobs are, much less which one to push. There's power to such simplicity, and I immediately forwarded it to people I know are new learning programming in Python right now. Good stuff, keep it up!
