My experience with Elixir has been great but one area of improvement is debugging. Maybe it's because I'm so used to using something like Chrome's developer tools, but I wish there was something as easy to use for setting breakpoints and inspecting the environment. Would love to know how others are debugging currently!
During a recent developer meetup in my country, I went to an elixir workshop where the host (an independent consultant) confided in us that several of her main clients had asked her to not reveal that they use elixir - they're apparently so happy with their choice that they treat it as a competitive advantage and claim to use a different stack when asked by competitors.
I can't know for sure if she was bluffing, but the idea really was interesting enough to make me wonder.
Edit: sorry, this was supposed to be a top level comment.
I'm surprised there are so many comments surrounding debugging in this thread. Did you use `require IEx; IEx.pry()` in your code at all? This gives you almost the exact same experience as calling `debugger;` within javascript. If so what was lacking with that experience?
