## Debugging Koa
Koa along with many of the libraries it's built with support the __DEBUG__ environment variable from [debug](https://github.com/visionmedia/debug) which provides simple conditional logging.
For example
to see all koa-specific debugging information just pass `DEBUG=koa*` and upon boot you'll see the list of middleware used, among other things.
```
$ DEBUG=koa* node --harmony examples/simple
koa:application use responseTime +0ms
koa:application use logger +4ms
koa:application use contentLength +0ms
koa:application use notfound +0ms
koa:application use response +0ms
koa:application listen +0ms
