As a dyed-in-the-wool print debugging advocate, and a Gleam-curious Erlang/BEAM enthusiast, this is very interesting for me.

Thanks for all your work, great to see how well the language and tooling are maturing.

print debugging is the best debugging <3 Thank you for the kind comment!!

Nah it's just the easiest and most reliable way. Usually anyway; sometimes you have extreme timing or space constraints and can't even use that. On microcontrollers I sometimes have to resort to GPIO debug outputs and I've worked on USB audio drivers where printf isn't an option.

hello fellow print debugging enjoyer, rejoice!

Indeed, for me, the IDE debuggers became useless when we started writing multi threaded programs.

Printf is the only way to reliably debug multi threaded programs.
