Maybe you can have a look at RadDbg [0], as I understand the project has been bought by Epic Games recently. The goal is to make a performant debugger, from what I understand its target audience is mostly game developers, but you can use it for other programs obviously. You can see a talk of the core developer and his vision here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9_bK_WjuYY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9_bK_WjuYY
Sadly it's windows only yet, but they have plans to port it to other platforms.

- mort96 9mo agoThe readme talks about plans for Linux support, but I'm guessing that's no longer on the table after the Epic acquisition? Sweeney is the single most publicly anti-Linux CEO I'm aware of.
- nottorp 9mo agoDo you expect an IAP peddler to support free software?
- mort96 9mo agoYes actually: plenty of companies don't care where the money comes from, they're happy as long as there's money. Unity, the other big ad- and IAP-peddling game engine company, has pretty good Linux support. It's weird for a company to explicitly say, "if you use this one operating system you can go F yourself, we don't want your money". (Note: this is not the same as saying "we only officially support Windows at this time, sorry". There's seething hatred in Sweeney's words.)
- nottorp 9mo agoI suppose Apple bribed him to support Macs. Who's going to bribe him to support Linux, RedHat? Canonical?
- password4321 9mo ago> Do you expect an IAP peddler to support free software? Valve does.
- mort96 9mo agoValve doesn't own RAD though
- hyperbolablabla 9mo agoAFAIK, RAD was acquired by Epic before Ryan began working on the Linux port
- mort96 9mo agoIt usually takes some time for an acquisition to result in significant cultural shift in the acquired company, but it always happens in the end.
- rfleury 9mo agoNothing has changed about the project’s design, intentions, or goals in the 5 years since the acquisition. This is just ideological.
- rfleury 9mo agoIt was acquired before I even joined the company.

- rfleury 9mo agoThe repository was first open sourced 2 years after the acquisition. Nothing has changed about the project’s goals. We are working on the Linux port now. It’s currently our top priority.
