## What it is
BugStalker is a modern debugger for Linux x86-64, written in Rust specifically for debugging Rust programs. It offers console and TUI modes, deep Rust type system integration, async/Tokio inspection, and DAP support for editors like VSCode and Zed.

## Use cases
- debug a Rust application on Linux
- set breakpoints and step through Rust code
- inspect Tokio async tasks without code changes
- debug multithreaded Rust programs from the terminal
- use a Rust debugger from VSCode or Zed via DAP
- watch variables and inspect Rust collections while debugging

## When to avoid
- you need to debug on platforms other than Linux x86-64
- you primarily debug non-Rust languages
- you need mature debugger features like reverse debugging or hardware-level analysis found in GDB/LLDB

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, terminal-ui
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cli, rust
- tags: debugger, rust-debugger, tui, dap, tokio, breakpoints, watchpoints, command-line, debugging, linux
