I've always been curious about Debuggers. How do they work? How do they connect to a program and step through it. Why can't more compiled languages integrate debuggers inside of them so that you can debug the program without using a separate tool?

And why can't we create interfaces to debuggers so that other text editors can integrate with them, much like how we do we LSPs?

*EDIT*

Thanks for all the responses! I've now heard from multiple sources that debugging on Linux is unpleasant, and it seems like the whole process is challenging regardless of the platform.
