Checking Out CPython 3.14's remote debugging protocol

news.ycombinator.com Raphael Gaschignard 2026-01-11 18:57:25

The barrier to entry for writing general debugging tools for Python programs has always been quite low. Unlike many languages, you're rarely finding yourself working with weird internals. Instead, debugging tools can be built off of pretty straightforward knowledge of the language. This is powered by the languages treating things like exc

Despite Elon Musk stepping away from his DOGE activities, Tesla’s sales have continued to slide.
