Go has a debugger—and it's awesome!

What's this blog post about?

godebug is a cross-platform debugger for the Go programming language created by the Mailgun team. It rewrites source code and injects function calls to enable breakpoints, variable declarations, and line tracing. The tool produces a single binary with no dependencies, allowing it to be used on various platforms without requiring additional tools or permissions. godebug is still young but functional, and its source rewriting technique has potential for standardization in the context of Go's build process.
