I have not tried that yet. Is there a specific LLBD extension for vscode? or are you using the built-in debugger interface? Why LLDB rather than GDB?

Yeah, there is. I wasn’t aware it had GDB support. I’ve tried that now and got it to work, but the experience is (as without VSCode) not great. Had local expressions been visible it would be quite useful, I assume. Or is that supposed to work?

I’m not sure what is and isn’t supposed to work. This isn’t well documented at all.

You might also be interested in phoityne which integrates GHCi’s debugger with VSCode. I haven’t tried it yet.

Yeah, it’s on my radar. Haven’t found the time to try it yet. Thanks!
