What’s clunky about the Ocaml debugger?

Ocaml has been shipping with an actual fully functional reverse debugger for ages.

Is the issue mostly integration with the debugging ui of VS Code?

it was clunky AF last time I tried to use it https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/debug-ocaml-code/10867/18

and yeah integrating to VS Code debugging UI would be ideal

I really like OCaml, so I hope the community can continue to improve the UX of these features

Yes, I see what you mean now. You encountered a bug around system thread and dune didn’t properly pass your artifacts. That’s indeed annoying.

I deeply dislike dune myself and never use it. I just use the Ocaml toolchain like I would a good old C one which might explain our different experiences.
