EDBG: Your TTY debugger
This is yet another "Yet another" talk about EDBG, a TTY tool built on top of Erlang debugger and tracer. Now, there are plenty of really good debugging tools for Erlang out there, so why is this one written? I have no idea, but I can say it is a simple enough tty debugger for me to finally stop using the graphical debugger. No more WX build issues on OSX. Just plain text, accessible through the shell. In this talk, I will introduce the tool and show you how to use it, highlighting its advantages and hopefully convince you to give it a try.
