The industry has the resources to sustain maybe two and a half proper IDEs with debuggers, profilers etc.. So much as we might wish otherwise, language popularity matters. The likes of LSP mitigate this to a certain extent, but at the moment they only go so far.
- rfoo 1y agoAll system programming languages mentioned by GP share the same set of debuggers and profilers, though. It's not very language specific.
- flohofwoe 1y agoThat's where extensible IDEs like VSCode (and with it the Language Server Protocol and Debug Adapter Protocol) come in. It's not perfect yet, but I can do C/C++/ObjC, Zig, Odin, C3, Nim, Rust, JS/TS, Python, etc... development and debugging all in the same IDE, and even within the same project.
