Hey HN, the is Chris, creator of FireDBG. We’ve been working on this debugger just about a year now. Time travel debugging isn’t a new concept, the new idea here is to use call tree visualisation to help us navigate the debug trace.It supports various Linux distros on x64 and macOS on x64 and M1. It’s only available for Rust right now, but we do want to bring this debugging experience to other programming languages. Please give it a try! Would love to know your thoughts.What’s your anecdote in debugging programs? My stupidity is usually in the form of: after a few hours of debugging, I realised I misused a system API (e.g. messing up length with offset) but I kept thinking I had a logic erro

FireDBG – A Time Travel Visual Debugger for Rust is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.

It is recorded at the Show HN launch stage.
