# Important Notes
#### The Plot
- there used to be two kinds of benchmarks: in Java and in Enso
- those in Java got quite a good treatment
- there even are results updated daily: https://enso-org.github.io/engine-benchmark-results/
- the benchmarks written in Enso used to be 2nd class citizen
#### The Revelation
This PR has the potential to fix it all!
- It designs new [Bench API](88fd6fb988
) ready for non-batch execution
- It allows for _single benchmark in a dedicated JVM_ execution
- It provides a simple way to wrap such an Enso benchmark as a Java benchmark
- thus the results of Enso and Java benchmarks are [now unified](https://github.com/enso-org/enso/pull/7101#discussion_r1257504440)
Long live _single benchmarking infrastructure for Java and Enso_!

Chrome Developer Tools Debugger
As a well written citizen of the GraalVM project the Enso
language can be used with existing tools available for the overall platform. One
of them is
Chrome Debugger and Enso
language is fully integrated with it. Launch the bin/enso
executable with
additional --inspect
option and debug your Enso programs in Chrome Developer
Tools.
enso$ ./built-distribution/enso-engine-*/enso-*/bin/enso --inspect --run ./test/Tests/src/Data/Numbers_Spec.enso
Debugger listening on ws://127.0.0.1:9229/Wugyrg9
For help, see: https://www.graalvm.org/tools/chrome-debugger
E.g. in Chrome open: devtools://devtools/bundled/js_app.html?ws=127.0.0.1:9229/Wugyrg9
copy the printed URL into chrome browser and you should see:
Step in, step over, set breakpoints, watch values of the variables as well as
evaluate arbitrary expressions in the console. Note that as of December 2022,
with GraalVM 22.3.0, there is a well-known
bug in Truffle that causes
NullPointerException
when a host object gets into the chrome inspector. There
is a workaround for that, but it may not work in certain situations. Therefore,
if you encounter NullPointerException
thrown from
at org.graalvm.truffle/com.oracle.truffle.polyglot.PolyglotContextImpl.getContext(PolyglotContextImpl.java:685)
simply ignore it. It will be handled within the debugger and should not affect the rest of the environment.
Tips and tricks
- Use
env JAVA_OPTS=-Dpolyglot.inspect.Path=enso_debug
to set the chrome to use a fixed URL. In this case the URL isdevtools://devtools/bundled/js_app.html?ws=127.0.0.1:9229/enso_debug
