I use Go on OpenBSD a lot, and I have always done my serious debugging using Printf or logging. I would like to use delve as well, and have considered getting it to work on OpenBSD. https://github.com/go-delve/delve/pull/1480 It looks like there is current work getting it supported in FreeBSD. Would that be a better starting point for OpenBSD? I'm pretty noob at C, but I have recently been learning it pretty seriously. (for whatever that's worth) I guess I'm not adding much except that Go on OpenBSD is great, and I have never been stuck by not having delve. thanks, Paul
