How is this different from weinre? http://people.apache.org/~pmuellr/weinre/docs/latest/

That's exactly what I immediately thought when I started watching the video.

May be it isn't chrome dev tools dependent? Or it has some CSS (lol), I don't know...

I was hoping this was finally a release of Microsoft Research's Rivet Debugger: http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=1618...

Here's a more entertaining video of Rivet: https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc12/technical-sessions/p...

James Mickens is a crazy productive/smart dude.

I'm disappointed if like it's namesake it doesn't give vague, disturbing, portent information to the console. "If you go to 'undefined', you will die"

"Is this bug in my code or in the library I am calling?"

Based on this, the second reason is because the Vorlons are one of the wisest and ancient race of the universe and thus, they are helpful as diplomats between younger races. What? No. That's not how the Vorlons worked at all . Also, Javascript is basically the Shadows (mordon.js lol). Wonder what langauges/frameworks map onto other Babylon 5 concepts? Angular -> Earth Alliance? Enterprisey but not super elegant, and…

LOL I still think vorlons were here to help before moving to the next level at the very end, leaving the young races driving the galaxy
