How would this even work? I'm curious.


The same way debugging between machine code and source code works when all you really have from the processor is an instruction pointer. :D

You maintain a two-way mapping between file names/line numbers in the CS source and file names/line numbers in the JS source. When the debugger throws an exception with a line number, just translate it before presenting it to the user. For break points and stepping, go in the opposite direction.
