yeah me too Esteban, I checked the link to the pdf but is written in a language its very difficult to understand. Also Sean points tell me nothing about this feature, they look too generic. Oh well maybe its for the people that want to deeply hack the language and system which is not my area of expertise or interest.�

In any case any positive contribution to Pharo whether interests me or not is ALWAYS welcomed, so thank you :)�

I don't fully see what are the immediate benefits.

But as usually happen when you replace something old, limited and "not
so well designed" by something better designed from the ground up I
guess it will open Pharo to features not yet thought of.

Does the new debugger have something "better" than the previous one?
