debugger support

It would be good to be able to set breakpoints, step through code, inspect and watch local variables, either from the REPL or from an IDE/Editor.

VSCode already has an excellent Node debugger built-in, where you can set breakpoints, run your code, inspect vars, step-through lines of code, etc. Although I only just learnt it was there.

There's a full walkthrough tutorial at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/debug-nodejs/

I wonder if hakk can tie into that somehow?

Yes! I would love to get that to work.
