You can just use e.g. Intellij's debugger with Clojure? What exactly do you need ported?

Personally, I don't really see the value though. I prefer to create modules of mostly pure functions, testing them in the REPL using Rich comment blocks.

One thing is that when an unhandled exception occurs the clojure program is terminated, where as lisps usually does allow one to restart the program at the point of exception after examining what caused the exception and changing the values of local variables to rectify that. Can the intellij debugger do that?
