Glad to hear the 2022 C++ ecosystem is finally catching up on some regards, but how does it know which version of those dependencies to download, and how does it download closed source symbols?

I mean, if it's closed source you're not getting the debug symbols in any case lol, no matter which language.

It uses debuginfod for fetching symbols - here it "just works".
