1 @DanielBeck I dont want to execute the script, I want to execute async functions while script is paused (think about it, I can calculate ordinary functions while paused, but not async calls, why?) – srghma Commented Dec 19, 2018 at 14:29
2 Yes,. JS is single threaded, this means it has 1 single message loop. When you pause, it will pause the message loop. If it didn't it would make debugging even harder. What problem are you trying to solve, I wonder if this is an X/Y problem. – Keith Commented Dec 19, 2018 at 14:45
