The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

GNU Debugger "GDB" Adds Support For Microsoft's Debug Adapter Protocol
GDB with gdb -i dap allows you to debug any language that GDB can debug from within Emacs' dap-mode: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode

Emacs as IDE
Debugging (kind of an IDE feature) is a little harder. Out of the box, Emacs can at least debug emacs-lisp (with built-in features) and C (via gdb integration). Beyond that, take a look at dap-mode for other language options. Similarly, take a look at lsp-mode or eglot for code completion, more advanced linting, etc.

Eglot has landed on master: Emacs now has a built-in LSP client
At least for web development I believe eglot is strictly worse. It does not support running multiple servers (e.g. tsserver and eslint-ls) (https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot/issues/976) which is supported by lsp-mode and neovim's built-in lsp client. Also, it does not have any equivalent to dap-mode which is lsp-mode only. Although worth noting dap-mode is currently useless for js (https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode/issues/369).

EGlot as LSP - Interface & DAP
Hi, as it seems EGlot will receive the blessing of inclusion into vanilla Emacs. That makes me wonder how I am supposed to use dap-mode at it swaps in lsp-mode as a dependency.

Debugging GameBoy Advance (GBA) programs/games in Emacs
We will use dap-mode with the dap-gdb-lldb option here. Under the hood, it uses the debug adapter from the Native Debug VSCode extension. Configuring it is described on the dap-mode webpages. After we have configured dap-mode, we could in theory reuse the launch.json configurations from the VSCode related articles above. That will require that you also use lsp-mode, as dap-launch depends on the lsp-workspace-root function and will not resolve when lsp-mode is not used. I don't use lsp-mode with C (company-clang and company-c-headers provide what I need), so the next logical solution would be to create a debug template ourselves:

John Carmack: Best Programming Setup and IDE – Lex Fridman Podcast Clips
Hmm it does seem like Emacs is growing support for the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP), the LSP-alike convention that allows language developers to build language-specific debuggers that tie into the VSCode UI: https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode

Programming in Python
So, what do you need: - Language server for Python (lsp and lsp-ui) Use lsp-mode it's more reach with features at the moment https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/page/installation/ - Real-time program debugging (dap-mode) https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode

lsp-mode vs eglot
Seems like too much work and the issue has been closed and not reopened since 2018 sadly. It looks like it won't be happening any time soon. https://github.com/emacs-lsp/dap-mode/issues/2
