This is one of my bigger gripes about the way the DLF handles
things. What's the point of things like a borrow checker, fancy
DFAs for move semantics, or Phobos v3, if the language doesn't
even have a debugger for every platform that is able to
properly display its native types?
It's because nobody wants to spend their time peering over
DWARF info and then writing plugins for GDB, WinDBG and LLDB
(or even just one of them!). IMO, they should have a system
where the whole community gets to vote on one tooling/bug
proposal every so often, and then the DLF *has* to work on that
alongside whatever else they do.
It is not how things working :)
And even for big-corp langs
