Hi Chandler! it's probably worth mentioning that we will be also opening up our lldb-mi based debug engine which will allow you to debug any lldb target from Visual Studio. And we'll continue to contribute back improvements to

Hey, VC++ Dev Mgr here. Our official statement hasn't changed which is that we will enable major libraries but we need to prioritize C++ over C. Let me know if there is a library that is blocked that we don't know about and I
