Let's meet Andrew Ferrier, the creator of the neovim plugin debugprint.nvim debugprint is a NeoVim plugin that simplifies debugging for those who prefer a low-tech approach. Instead of using a sophisticated debugger like nvim-dap, some people prefer using a 'print'-like statement to trace the output during execution. With debugprint, you can insert these statements, including the values of variables, relevant to the language you're editing.
