Unfortunate name as it has nothing to do with databases, RevDBG would be much better... That said, it looks interesting.

Unfortunate name as it has nothing to do with databases, RevDBG would be much better... That said, it looks interesting.
- Kip9000 10y agoWould be cool to get the naming right at the beginning. RevDBG makes much more sense
- 80x25 10y ago*db is common nomenclature for debuggers: gdb, lldb, cdb, pdb
- smt88 10y agoIt's also a common suffix for databases, whereas "dbg" is unambiguous.
- brianwawok 10y agoIf I saw dbg I would have no idea what you were talking about.
- justinclift 10y ago"DBG" == "Debugger" is a fairly common thing.
- brianwawok 10y agoNot to me, and have been in the field 10 years. Would be curious to see the survey results.. all I can say is 100% would not recognize it.
- Drdrdrq 10y agoBut usually in lowercase...
- spjwebster 10y agoThe official python debugger is called pdb, so this is following convention. Moreover, bdb and gdb have coexisted since the 80s without causing much confusion. I think we'll survive.
