> Thus wouldn't it be easier to just interpret zig for debug The whole point of debug mode is debuggability, and hooking up such an interpreted Zig to a standard debugger like gbd or lldb probably isn't trivial, since those expect an executable with DWARF debug info. PS: also acceptable debug-mode performance is actually very important, especially in areas like game development.
