I wonder if any of the python updates will help with Go debugging.

If only it had a powerful GUI so it was super-usable as well... (from a C++/OpenGL developer that uses it from the terminal every now and then).

I would like to see a GDB-pro use it for a couple of hours, and see how powerful she's made her GDB-FUU.

E.g., in this:

the debug engine behind that is actually GDB.

Though it sounds like you want this:

Thanks for the links, will check them out more later. I have used several of the different software listed, among them DDD, Insight and Clewn/pyClewn, as well as vgdb, but none of them was working completely and fully. None felt polished enough. QtCreator is a great IDE and very promising, and I will probably switch to it for my coding-at-home, mostly thanks to its code completion and GDB integration. I'm not extremely fond of locking my project into QtCreator project-file dependencies, as I'm using premake for building with dependencies now (and I love it! Much more than CMake which I've used previously), and premake does not have a generator for QtCreator yet. But I guess I have to sacrifice something...

Since QtCreator has its Vim mode, I'm able to enable that as well. Even though it was kind of confusing using Vim within an IDE.

I've watched that video before, and I really love that Valve made it. But it doesn't really contain any information I didn't already know. I'd like to see Richard Stallman use GDB from the terminal, to get an epiphany regarding what I've been missing all these years
