Remote Debugging w/o V8 Debugger Protocol

[Jan Krems]

Hi!

Inspired by a recentish issue on Github[1] I experimented a bit with the

idea of having a Chrome Devtools Protocol implementation for nodejs that

isn't built on top of the V8 debugger protocol.

The result is bugger 2[2]. It's still a bit rough around the edges and the

test coverage is at around 0%. But some of the highlights:

* Integrates into `chrome://inspect`

* Supports `child_process#fork` for worker inspection

* Fully featured repl with require in the console

* Command Line API

* The usual features known from node-inspector, like debugging via source

  panel, network traffic inspection, and profiling tools

The whole thing is highly experimental and contains a fair amount of

"placeholder code". But I thought I'd share it anyhow in case it ends up

being useful to someone.

Cheers,

Jan
