The best debugging experience imo is using gdb and rr within nvim. Works for zig, c, rust, etc. with minimal configuration in nvim. The less I leave vim the more productive I can be. Same thing probably goes for emacs although I will never admit it.


I’d love if you could elaborate on your setup. Are you using something like nvim-dap from within neovim or something else? I’m still trying to improve my debug experience in neovim.


Would also love to hear more. I have nvim-dap set up for Go and for C and it is an OK experience but I would not call it great. This is something on my Neovim todo list.. improving my debugging experience.
