Our review
Pros	Free and open-source with source-level Go debugging Remote, headless, JSON-RPC, and DAP support Core dumps, goroutines, and reverse execution inspection	Debugs CPU and GPU code simultaneously Supports CUDA C/C++, Fortran, remote sessions, and core dumps Inspects GPU state across multi-GPU debugging sessions
Cons	Supports only the Go programming language Primarily a command-line debugging experience No AI-assisted debugging features	Focused on NVIDIA GPU development Listed platform coverage centers on Linux Command-line workflow may not suit every development team
Our verdict	Delve is an open-source, source-level debugger for Go programs. It is designed for Go developers who need more than basic breakpoints, including control over running processes, runtime inspection, remote debugging, and editor integration.… Read the review →	CUDA-GDB is NVIDIA's open-source extension to the GNU Project Debugger for debugging CUDA applications on actual NVIDIA hardware. It is aimed at developers working with CUDA C/C++, CUDA Fortran, and mixed CPU/GPU programs who need one… Read the review →
