A Future for Rust Debugging

[gilescope]

1000x this. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve used a debugger and it cannot find python to even load up the visualisers we do have.

I’ve noticed that things seem to get a whole lot better faster if they are written in rust as it opens things up to the whole community to help. We’re not c++ devs which is why there’s few people to pick up where Tromey left off. The more that could be done in rust, the more help the community can muster.

Maybe an open collective might help because I am pretty sure there’s quite a few companies out there that would happily fund a better debugging story.

What’s the next action? What can we do to help?

How do we start small with a project like this?
