pudb VS nvim-dap

I simply use the superb pudb. Press ctrl+e to open the current file at the current line in your editor.

such a waste of time...

To this day, I'm baffled by the dynamic language folks who cannot get they head around how strictness/rigor (via a good expressive type system) actually makes maintenance easier and more importantly: cheaper.

I use the very under-rated pudb in an adjacent terminal window.

I've been using PuDB for a while now.

I think it is also worth mentioning pudb here

Most of the time I simply use icecream (a much better version of print()), and sometimes, I use pudb (a visual debugger) for tougher/trickier bugs.

For a quick view etc I usually fire up pudb in an adjacent terminal window but for a detailed/heavy debugging session I fire up VS Code (with the vim plugin of course). I have used vi/vim for 37+ years now so it is part of my DNA and use VS Code only for it's great vim + debugging facility.

Two that I haven’t seen here and have saved me tons of time are pudb, a great debugger and petl a simple powerful ETL toolkit.

If you want to debug Python then pudb is simply superb. Vim users don't really want or need to "debug inside of vim" do they? We usually are happy to use multiple command line and other tools in adjacent windows. Also, you can just step around and view variables etc in pudb and then press ctrl+e to edit that file in vim, then q to restart debugger.

There are DAP extensions for both Vim (e.g. https://github.com/puremourning/vimspector) and NeoVim (https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap). I can't speak as to the experience in detail (I think I briefly played with nvim-dap a year or two ago), but I suspect that for most it will be good enough.

Also, you can set up debugger integration with https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap .

You could use nvim-dap with nvim-dap-python.

I'd suggest starting with a Neovim distro that makes things work for you and as you get familiar you can transition to a more custom configuration as you see fit. If you want to do it by yourself then the most popular plugin for debugging in Neovim is nvim-dap and there is also an extension for Python to give you a more ready to go config instead of doing it yourself. You should read the docs of those 2 to see how you should customize accordingly your configuration.

(neovim only) nvim-dap

https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap + https://github.com/theHamsta/nvim-dap-virtual-text should be able to do it, I think?

If you want to debug types in TypeScript, you could use marilari88/twoslash-queries.nvim. If you would like to debug TypeScript/JavaScript code, then you need mfussenegger/nvim-dap, you could read this article: Debugging using DAP to understand how to set up it.
