Thanks for sharing, I'm sure that will come in handy for me some day!

This all feels like a failure of our modern OSes - why must the application layer know how to report on when it crashes? It seems like functionality that the OS should provide! Instead, we're stuck reaching for these random extensions solving the same problem in the same way everywhere - or, if you're lucky, this gets provided by the language framework for "free" to application developers (but not the language developers).

Actually, that's a really a good point. It's also especially weird considering we get lots of debugging support through the OS stack on every system. They have APIs, libraries, tools, etc. But actual crash control, a kind of thing where you want black box recordings after the fact, isn't really a thing anywhere unless you roll it yourself. It's a big shame.
