What Hacker News says

It's a bit silly to claim that any debugger comes with zero performance "overheads". And somehow they failed to think of any drawbacks for the debugger they ship in their paid software... I use nvim-dap with nvim-dap-ruby; it's excellent. Every benefit the post ascribes to RM's debugger applies to nvim-dap (modulo the user's ability to do basic neovim customization), with the added points that: - nvim-dap is protocol-based, so you can use the same configuration with many languages - it's completely free https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap https://github.com/suketa/nvim-dap-ruby
