This, of course, depends to a large degree on how you structure your code and, even more importantly, how you structure your data.

The determined Real Programmer can write FORTRAN programs in any language, after all.

But if you structure your code to embed enough domain knowledge in the data types then yes, debugging becomes mostly unnecessary. And even if you do need to debug things you know where to go: to these pesky few corner cases which you cut because you had poor understanding on what your program actually should do.
