[racket] Searching console debugger...
I don't know of one, but if you don't find one...
There are a few different ways that you can use a custom "#lang" to
instrument modules for debugging and make your own debugger. You can
wrap the top-level procedure definitions, define your own apply
procedure procedure, or (harder) try to parse procedure bodies and
instrument at that level and perhaps have access to every continuation
and syntactic construct that way. Then you can have a lightweight text
mode debugger in its own thread that can set breakpoints, step, maybe
watch variables, maybe support keyboard breaks, etc. You might have to
be careful of the optimizer confusing things for your instrumentation,
except for tail call optimization, which you should try hard to avoid
breaking with your instrumentation.
If you do this debugger, you can put its control interface on a TCP port
or socket, for debugging from another machine (which might be running a
resource-intensive GUI front-end to the debugger), or for simply not
messing up your stdio streams.
