Programming

Coming from the JavaScript world, I'm used to the amazing debugging capabilities that browsers offer these days. I wanted to find a way to do debugging in a sensible way, covering the basics like setting breakpoints, skipping through them and doing variable inspection at runtime. Ideally I wanted to use vim for that as this is where I do all of my coding! I ended up finding an elegant solution (at least in my opinion) that I would like to share with you.

In this post I will try to document my journey of setting up a modern C(++) development environment in (neo)vim.
