How to enable pretty printers?
According to this: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/3423 it seems to be at least somewhat possible to reuse natvis files from Visual Studio, but I have not tested that. Never really had the need to look at any non-vector container in the debugger.

How to Debug C/C++ with Visual Studio Code (From a Microsoft Software Engineer)
Thank you for the feedback! Perf is always an ongoing issue for us but I can say that we’ve recently allocated one of our senior engineers to take on more perf related issues. Something that really helps us out is if you could file reproducible steps that lead to your performance issue. This allows us to address the issues more readily. Please file your issues here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues

custom pretty printer/debug helpers for C++ debugging?
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

Zig Build System
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.

How game-dev-s debug rust?
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.
- Debug rust program as root

Migrating from VSCode to Neovim

Does anyone here work in gamedev with Rust as their primary language?
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.

using VScode codeLLDB
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
