If you’ve longed for more intuitive debugging in R and aren’t satisfied with having these behaviors tied to IDEs like Positron and RStudio, then I encourage you to take a look at {debugadapter}.
This project is in the “strong proof of concept” phase, but life has gotten too busy for me to wrap it up.
Unlike {ark}’s debugger, which is wrapped in a Jupyter kernel, this project is straight R. It works for any IDE that uses the protocol.

Thanks to everyone who is boosting this! Just an update, this project is moving forward as an ISC proposal!! For anyone who wants to see a pre-read, you can see our draft https://github.com/dgkf/2025-10-isc-proposal-debug-adapter Unfortunately, that means this project's ISC proposal is already spoken for. With some luck, we'll see it maturing soon!
