  3. Looks like a fancy version of good old icecream. https://github.com/gruns/icecream If you never heard about it, scroll to the bottom to https://github.com/gruns/icecream#icecream-in-other-language...

  4. Hey, very useful. Thanks! Similar to ic() for python, but with the nice ability to be used inline. https://github.com/gruns/icecream
