Any help much appreciated! :-)

Use node --inspect and https://june07.com/nim

Thank you. It worked. I wrote it up here.

Follow-up question.

I want to set a breakpoint when the program starts up.

I tried node --inspect-brk test.js, but it says it's a bad option.

It's made it much more fun to work on server stuff, btw. I can really get in there and see what's happening. It's not a chore anymore. ;-)

Depending on the node version, you may have to use --inspect with --debug-brk... Which by the way is deprecated in newer versions of Node.js. See (among many other places) Microsoft/vscode#32529 for more info about it.
