Feature request: Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) support. #101

Closed carlosplanchon closed 2 years ago

I don't know if it would be possible given the actual structure of the code or this project, but I saw about DAP this morning and I remembered birdseye.

The idea behind the Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP) is to abstract the way how the debugging support of development tools communicates with debuggers or runtimes into a protocol.

I don't think they're conceptually compatible since birdseye isn't like a traditional debugger. It doesn't pause in the middle of execution at some breakpoint and wait for you to step through lines of code.
