This has been announced several times in the past two years [0][1]. Now that v8-inspector has taken over as a viable alternative, the old and unmaintained JSON debug API is now finally being removed from V8 [2]. I suggest migrating over to the inspector protocol if your tool talks to node/v8 via the legacy JSON debug API.

FYI - Per @ofrobots here, removal of the old debug implementation has been deferred till V8 5.8.

Per #10117 It hasn't yet been decided (as of Jan 9) whether Node@8 will ship with V8 5.7 or 5.8.

The functionality of the legacy JSON debug API has been removed for V8 5.8: https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8/+/876da98a5182a03f631f9ab4469bd6838225cb16

The API is still there so that Node.js still compiles. But these are only dummy functions.

I wanted ask if a debug 2 inspect bridge was proposed (a proxy that translates the debug protocol into inspect) ?
Was it discussed how feasible that is?

This seems close-able at this time. If I'm mistaken, by all means, re-open or comment.
