There is a good IDE-style debugger available for Emacs these days: https://github.com/svaante/dape

Since it has no dependencies, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets merged into Emacs core at some point.

Thanks, I'll check it out. dap made me angrier and angrier the more I tried to configure and use it.
