Hi! I've been building a debugger on my nights and weekends because it's fun, and I personally need a better debugger for my work. GDB and LLDB pain me greatly; we can and will do better!
As explained in the README, it's still very early-days and it's not ready for use yet, but check back often because it's improving all the time!
Check out https://calabro.io/uscope for a more detailed explanation.
Thanks for taking a look!
