MagneticReadHead is too long.

Nice reference to Cassette there,
though with #4 and #5 writing and reading will be a thing.
MagneticHead is an option.

Iron is quiet nice,
Iron is notable for being magetic,
and it would be a nice match to Gallium.

Perhaps more explict:

  • CompiledDebugger
  • JustInTimeDebugger

Magneto.jl?

CompiledDebugger likely won't be unique forever; after we shake the bugs out of JuliaInterpreter, we're likely to add a frame-compiler that essentially performs the same operations that currently get done at runtime.

If you want to get away from the Cassette nomenclature, what about InstrumentedDebugger or just IDebugger (capitalize that I or you might get contacted by a lawyer 😉).

@oxinabox oxinabox changed the title Consider Renaming to Iron, or Magnet or ... Consider Renaming Mar 20, 2019

Uniqueness is not required. (I mean see Debugger.jl, eventually that will not be the only debugger :-P).
But this debugger will only be compiled.

TheOtherDebugger.jl has a kind of nice ring to it.
And opens up for someone in the future to write YetAnotherDebugger.jl

Debother.jl? :trollface:

TapeHead (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_head)? Ferrum?

IronOut has iron (magnetic) in it and the right meaning.

If you use UnBugger, then Julia could have a debugger, an unbugger, and a rebugger.

IronOut is pretty good.
I still like TheOtherDebugger for its self-deprecating nature.
