The problem here is that if the idea of using debuggers becomes an unfashionable niche then the next language won’t provide one at all.
Given how great Java/C#/JS debuggers are, one could hope that every new language will ship with a working debugger, that it would be table stakes.
But there’s a whole generation of working programmers that started their careers in Go and were told debuggers are lame all along, so it’s hard to blame them for not using one.
