A time travel debugger for WebAssembly

A new debug adapter called gabagool-debug-adapter enables time travel debugging for WebAssembly programs, allowing developers to step backwards through execution history. Currently supporting .wat source files, the tool aims to eventually support DWARF debug symbols for original source code debugging. The project provides one-click GitHub Codespace access and local VSCode installation options.

Background

WebAssembly is a low-level binary format that enables high-performance execution of code in web browsers and other environments, but debugging WebAssembly has traditionally been challenging compared to traditional programming languages.
