I'd really like to see a "grown up" debugger. Functions like show callstack, dedicated watches, conditional breakpoints, set next point of execution, run to cursor are common among modern debuggers, and I miss them dearly. It's a real shame LiveCode's debugger is so lamentably underpowered.

Well, mwieder, this is all nice and great. I think you are offering an advance debugger, and that's great, but then, I browse this forum with Chrome, click on your demo link and - nothing. Chrome isn't supported. (I'll check your stuff out using Firefox when I have a moment, tomorrow.)

The whole thing seems to be hugely over-advertised.

Fact seems to be that LC runs in some browsers on some platforms and under certain conditions, with the wind behind. That's fine, but not really impressive, let alone convincing.

I was hoping for the web aspect when I licensed LC, because that would of course be the killer feature. It doesn't kill; it barely scratches the skin.
