Comparing Pythagorean triples in C++, D, and Rust

I come from Ruby, where debuggers are useful but also not often used.

I find that I tend to write more and smaller unit tests than people who reach for debuggers. I debug logic errors by using println or writing more tests.

And yes, Rust is still very susceptible to logic errors.

Developing with powerfull debuggers is an experience that kind of resembles using a REPL, specially with languages that enjoy fast compiles.

I advise devs to go through Xerox PARC and ETHZ papers about interactive development, or Apple's Object Pascal/MCL/Dylan/Hypercard, on was the birth of IDEs.

Fun fact: I loved coding in HyperCard as a kid.
