Isn't debugging just a short interation away from being like native debugging? You get a source map, you see C++ in the devtools with C++ variables and a C++ call stack and an option to "view webassembly"

I have to assume the browser teams are working on this

That might work well enough for C++, but I'm not sure how well it would work for other languages. For example, apparently gdb doesn't work all that well for debugging Go programs?

Each language has its own peculiarities for how objects are represented on the heap.
