Comment on Returning to Nim from Python and Rust

Comments

The one thing that's really holding me back from Nim: the lack of an integrated debugger in Jetbrains' IDEs.

Yes, I can hold lots of state in my head; and yes, I can make do without a debugger, if I have to.

But I don't want to. Especially since I've been so spoiled with PyCharm and Clion's way of doing it. My debugging time is limited and valuable, and a debugger that quickens my inspection of a program is nowadays so essential to my workflow that I'd rather hold back from committing to Nim at all until its debugger tooling (at least to the level of that in Jetbrains' IDEs) is available.
