How long ago was that? 'cause it seems pretty easy to get running now, even on Windows.

  Delve only works on Linux, OSX, and Windows. Not at all on *BSD. ∙ Delve works "ok-ish" on Linux. Sometimes breakpoints don't fire (for me), but generally it's mostly usable. ∙ Windows and OSX both have issues with (at least) cgo code. ∙ The lack of BSD support is just because no-one's contributed the native bits yet: https://github.com/derekparker/delve/tree/master/pkg/proc/native So, it'll probably get done at some point in the future. As an example of the problems, a basic search on the Jetbrains issue tracker for Gogland (which includes Delve) shows many, many, many bugs filed. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/GO?q=debugger eg breakpoints not firing, variables being shown outside their scope, variable names being incorrect, debugging session just hanging (etc) That being said, the problems are getting looked at and fixed, both by the Delve dev's, the Jetbrains people for things where Gogland can help, and in Go itself when problems originate there (incomplete DWARF info on some OS's for example). Go 1.9 (due for release any day now) helps with the variable scope problems. Still, it's a long way from "just works" to the level C developers are used to. Though it's improving. Personally, I really wish the "just works" was already here. :D
