I really liked FrTime when I saw it a few weeks ago.
I still really like it.

Just because this solves some problems/challenges I've had lately, and I
want to do a sanity check:
1) I write a Scheme program: say, a small bytecode interpreter
2) I want to "debug" my programs.
3) I write a little GUI that continuously shows the state of the
register variables and memory hash using FrTime.
4) I can even (I suspect) run my computation backwards and forwards if I
instrument the virtual machine correctly, using << and >> buttons in a
FrTime GUI. I imagine an appropriate call to call/cc in one or two
places achieves what I'm talking about.
Now, I have a steppable virtual machine. That's nifty. Whizzy, even.
Very, very cool.
