As a secondary language, I find the repl and debugging pieces far lacking for Node.js. To be fair, I just use Node.js for developing SPA using frameworks like VueJS and React. Ndb looks like a step in a good direction. However, I don’t understand if you’re really expected to have a Chrome browser open when you’re already in the context of editing code. That might sound strange, but my preferred setup is using tmux and splitting vim on the left and a couple terminal panes on the right (at about 80 chars). Is terminal debugging possible with ndb? Am I thinking about this wrong?
