5. Debugging (ease of accessing C parts when debugging)

functions, you might not even notice the language barrier.
All D debuggers are also C debuggers and I doubt that's
going to change.
To add to this, as long as you're on anything but OS X,
you're fine. Debugging D on OS X is, to put it plainly,
fucked.
Never had any real problems with it, but I don't expect much
from my debuggers. Breakpoint, backtrace, disassemble,
register dump. Maybe some stepping about once a year.

If you've gotten GDB on OS X to work, please let me know.
Trying to debug NULL pointer bugs without a debugger is like
breaking down a wall by smashing your head into it over and
over.
When I hit problems like that I swap to llldb. Much less D
support, but it works well enough for my limited needs. I don't
mind looking at mangled names most of the time.
Still, it should definitely be fixed, I understand that other
people have different needs/workflows.
