[Sugar-devel] Gsoc: Pippy Debugger Project Request for Review

[Chihurumnaya Ibiam]

Hi Ahmad,

You've said *" It was also said in the matrix chat that sugar devs have
tested llama the most."*
and added a comment right below it, which doesn't agree with the statement
above, I don't remember ever
saying we've tested llama the most and the comment you added made no
mention of llama either.

You've also said *"The current output terminal displays errors in a very
beginner friendly manner"*
when the current output is just a Traceback, which is gotten if your
program throws an error, saying it displays
errors in a beginner friendly manner implies the activity was modified to
do so when that isn't the case.

*"We’ll not be implementing a debugger chat bot due to the following
reasons:"*
Whatever the reasons you give here, this implies the debugger would be
running constantly and
analyzing code as soon as it's written, that's not what we want to do.
We want kids to be able to ask for help when they think they need it, not
for help to be provided
automatically without them asking for it.
I do understand some of the reasons you've mentioned, we can help solve
some of those with a prompt.

*"To address this, we'll add a feature where users can specify their goal
as context."*
Imagine a kid doing this, what do you think that would look like?

You've also said *"A chat interface for debugging conversations" *when some
sentences priori you
said you had no plans of doing that.

Hope this helps!
