Re:DDD was a great debugger – what would a modern equivalent... by chrsw on Sunday January 25, 2026 @06:20PM (#46759693)
Here's another one

It's for embedded systems though, which is where I come from. In embedded we have this concept called instruction trace where every instruction executed with the target gets sent over to the host. The host can reconstruct part of what's been going on in the target system. But there's usually so much data, I've always assumed a live view is kind of impractical and only used it for offline debugging. But maybe that's not a correct assumption. I would love to see better observability in embedded systems.

For context, I’ve been experimenting with a small open-source prototype while thinking about these ideas: https://github.com/manux81/qddd It’s very early and incomplete — mostly a way for me to explore what breaks once you actually try to model time and causality in a debugger.
