Nim works very well with Emacs and Visual Studio Code at the very least, also Vim (from reports by others) - including debug support. What are you missing?

Debugging and (semantic) renaming. As said, this is the minimum requirements I pose on any language for production use. Nim in VS Code lacks both.

There's some limited debugging support at the generated C code, but this is not sufficient for me.

it should work on nim source level as well: if there are any problems ,that's a bug,so please report it. (disclaimer: me & my partner also work on a bit more advanced commercial debugger environment which also targets nim, so I guess there are many kinds of efforts)

Glad to hear there's commercial interest for Nim!

it's still not in beta: i mostly wanted to focus on the "people are thinking about it" part :)
