Debugger API |

I've been meaning to look at how to implement a debugger for Emacs for various
languages.
There seems to be various options to go with (realgud, gud/gud-mi?, NIH roll my
own) and it seems the community chooses different paths (including not writing
one at all).
Some debuggers that come to mind are: edebug, gud-gdb, realgud, cider, indium,
jdibug with a varied feature set.
I'm curious if it makes sense (or is doable) to have something similar to
flycheck/flymake but for debugging (or like VSCode's
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/api-debugging) so that there's
a common interface to writing a debugger.
gud-def looks to be the closest thing but it seems somewhat low level given it
doesn't draw breakpoints on screen (random example) or provide something like a
'locals' view.
If gud-def is the recommended approach, I wonder why the other debuggers (list
mentioned above) don't leverage it.

Thanks; I'll close it now. Feel free to submit a new bug report if
you ever come up with any improvements or suggestions in the future.
