Nice to know that debug messages have improved. Ease of debugging would improve more, if an exception happens a live repl is spawned at that point allowing one to view locals/values, modify state, continue execution, etc.

Most lisps allows such live repls for debugging like Scheme and Emacs lisp, while clojure only provides a stacktace on exception, and not a repl.

You can do that yourself if you care (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zp0OEDcAro0) but I get what you mean. On the other hand, on a server application a REPL on exception wouldn’t help me.
