By the way, I would find it cool to have an optional byteCode view parallel to source code view and see the execution of byte codes, and why not, a view of Context stack frames. Also, the debugger might step message by message (AST-based) rather than byteCode by byteCode, is this what you mean by wrong abstraction level ?
With the wrong abstraction level: Why do we care about stepping bytecodes at all? Why not only have an AST interpreter based debugger?
Because the debugger might be looking at bytecodes that were generated by something other than a Smalltalk compiler. Michael. -- http://gulik.pbwiki.com/
