What a quaint idea.. it dawned on me doing some cocoon development that the best way to find out how things went wrong is to have a heap of debugging logging in your program. I call this idea quaint because in Smalltalk, if something goes wrong you get a debugger up at the spot that went wrong straight away.

Cocoon has this magnificant logging system built in to it to let you do all this - but I put it to you this way. It's a complex system built up to overcome the divide between program and development created by the curley braces paradigm of development. Wake up! There are easier ways to do things.

Now I'll twiddle my thumbs for a bit as it compiles...
