## Debugging
### Debugging
Just set the environment variable `DUST_LOG=info` and Dust will tell you exactly what your code is doing while it's doing it. If you set `DUST_LOG=trace`, it will output detailed logs about parsing, abstraction, validation, memory management and runtime. Here are some of the logs from the end of a simple [fizzbuzz example](https://git.jeffa.io/jeff/dust/src/branch/main/examples/fizzbuzz.ds).

## Automatic Memory Management
### Automatic Memory Management
Thanks to static analysis, Dust knows exactly how many times each variable is used. This allows Dust to free memory as soon as the variable will no longer be used, without any help from the user.
## Error Handling
### Error Handling
Runtime errors are no problem with Dust. The `Result` type represents the output of an operation that might fail. The user must decide what to do in the case of an error.
