# vimspector - A multi language debugger for Vim
|
|
|
|
# Status
|
|
|
|
This is a work in progress. It barely functions.
|
|
|
|
# About
|
|
|
|
The motivation is that debugging in Vim is a pretty horrible experience,
|
|
particularly if you use multiple languages. With pyclewn no more and the
|
|
built-in termdebug plugin limited to gdb, I wanted to explore options.
|
|
|
|
While Language Server Protocol is well known, the Debug Adapter Protocol is less
|
|
well known, but achieves a similar goal: language agnostic API abstracting
|
|
debuggers from clients.
|
|
|
|
The aim of this project is to provide a simple but effective debugging
|
|
experience in Vim for multiple languages, by leveraging the debug adapters that
|
|
are being built for VScode.
|
|
|
|
The ability to do remote debugging is a must. This is key to my workflow, so
|
|
baking it in to the debugging experience is a top bill goal for the project.
