Debugging is the one reason I tolerate interpreted languages. The fact that you can pause execution and start writing commands to execute on the fly in the debug console is VERY POWERFUL.

...and you don't need even 'interpreted languages' for that...

As a C developer, I REALY want a interpreted C compiler with a crazy good debugger for this reason. On average I think C has really good debuggers (its a simple language that has been around for a long time) but there is so much more one could do. A few years ago i wrote a prototype called OPA, with some cool potential features. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvkn9Xz-xks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvkn9Xz-xks
