That's really nice, being able to 'stop and look around' in ipdb for Python, node inspector for node etc has made those respectively so much easier to understand. Being able to do something similar for C is great.

I mean, the initial release of gdb was 29 years ago ;)

If you're in osx, Xcode has a nice debugger for c programs. Did I say you can also add breakpoints line by line? :D
