A cross-platform debugger for Go

Curious.. I used debugging in LiteIDE a while back and it seemed to work well. Anyone else using it successfully?

LiteIDE was probably using gdb as a backend. gdb is not a very reliable debugger as of the last few Go releases. Here's a demo of a common failure mode of gdb on Go: occasionally running the entire program when you try to take a single step https://youtu.be/qo4RAPxCTa0?t=351

This failure mode is a large part of why I decided to write godebug.
