Yes, turbolizer currently lacks some of IRHydra/2's mature featurefulness. No pretty "you're deopt is here". I've no idea whether Google would welcome contributions or not.

Wistful sigh.
It does 'IR' part of the IRHydra, but it does not give you another important feature - ability to see how your function evolved over time and figure out reasons for it. Loading files one by one in search for the right version is pretty cumbersome.
I was always hoping that V8 will eventually get proper Dev Tools integration for compiler / runtime internals - and I think things have finally started happening in that area.
