Delve is a full-featured debugger for the Go programming language, usable from the command line and via editor integrations. It aims to be simple to invoke and stay out of the developer's way while debugging.

Use cases

  • debug a Go program from the terminal
  • set breakpoints and step through Go code
  • inspect variables and goroutines in a Go application
  • integrate a debugger into a Go IDE or editor
  • debug a failing Go test
  • attach to a running Go process

When to choose

  • you need to debug Go programs and want the standard, actively maintained debugger
  • you want editor integration via DAP (VS Code, GoLand, Neovim)
  • you need to inspect goroutines and Go-specific runtime state

When to avoid

  • you are debugging a language other than Go
  • you only need simple print-based logging rather than an interactive debugger
