Ok, so apparently here they are called 'data formatters' instead of pretty printers or debug helpers... https://github.com/vadimcn/codelldb/wiki/Custom-Data-Formatters

For debugging lldb supports python scripts: https://github.com/vadimcn/codelldb/wiki/Data-visualization

I use VS Code on Linux to debug Zig. Haven't tried the others you mentioned, but it just emits standard DWARF symbols, so I'm guessing if you can debug C/C++ you could probably also do Zig with minimal changes? I just use the lldb VS code plugin[0], which works out of the box for me with no issues.

It's pretty bad, unfortunately. As you discovered, using the gnu toolchain works better with code-lldb (see more info here), but it still isn't great. CLion is a little better, but costs money and lacks support in other ways compared to VSCode.

- I tried to install codelldb: https://github.com/vadimcn/vscode-lldb without success.

Are you on Windows or Linux? On Windows I've had nothing but trouble getting code-lldb to display debug info for any sort of nontrivial data structure due to this issue, which means I need to switch to x86_64-pc-windows-gnu, but then that breaks other upstream crates that use cc to compile C++ code.

I've been using vscode-lldb with VS Code on macos, and I've been very happy with the experience so far.

yeah since they updated the rust compiler for windows to use a different style of debugger symbols and since they changed that in CodeLLDB the variables output have not been the same. Though i believe the owner has been trying to fix it. But any issues you do have report them on the codeLLDB git https://github.com/vadimcn/vscode-lldb

https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/issues/1097 Yep, on our wishlist and will be added :)

We'd like to open the floodgates on Bevy Book development asap. This taking so long has largely been my fault ... I've been overly protective of the Bevy Book while also not giving it the attention it deserves. Here is our current plan: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/issues/623#issuec..., which I'd like to execute during the next cycle.

Latest Progress: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/pull/550/files

I do want previews though.

API docs, examples and the revised book: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/pulls?q=is%3Aopen...

Strongly agreed on the need for better introductory material; the existing book is extremely incomplete.

> I don't have this clear. Are 5/6 teams actually building commercial games with Bevy, or they just planning to do it in the future? This is a crucial distinction.

I know of 2 released commercial projects, the CAD team, a few indie devs who have started and 3 or so small studios who are looking to start. There's a little thread in the Discord where I've rounded folks up: [Bevy in production](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/995713618526...).

We also do some real cleverness around split borrows in order to enable automatic system parallelism. This draft book page goes into more concrete details :)

Can do

I used the unofficial bevy cheatbook a lot to learn the ropes. Everyone on the discord is super friendly and helpful and the official documentation is being updated, you can check out the PRs on the book branch

If you're curious about the ECS side of things, that chapter is now ~approximately complete, and should make an excellent learning resource: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/pull/182
