> I am 10x more productive in tech stacks where I can use an interactive debugger

Absolutely. It's not that I use a debugger that often, but when it's needed and a good one isn't available, I'll be hitting my head against the wall.

Languages without excellent debuggers (and profilers) have no place in production code. Because when you need the tools, you need them.
