You could argue that a lot of parts that go into making C (or, more amusingly, cweb is a fun case study) step debug friendly were hacks. Feels that it was almost a deliberate choice not to build in the support into modern frameworks. I agree that the web was a large part of the problem here. What I don't get is how we haven't been able to bridge that gap by now? From my vantage, it is almost completely explained by every actor involved not having any desire or incentive to work with each other. And it is baffling. I do grant that distributed systems have always had a lot of difficulty in making things debug friendly. And it is easy to see many websites as a distributed system. But it isn't like they originated this.
