A Spreadsheet and a Debugger Walk into a Shell

The latest update on the Arcan project introduces new features for its command-line shell, including an interactive spreadsheet and a Debug Adapter Protocol implementation. The spreadsheet functionality allows users to create and manipulate spreadsheets directly within the shell, supporting static content, expressions, and shell commands. Users can populate cells with data from commands and export results in various formats. The Debug Adapter Protocol enhances the development experience by providing tools for managing debugging tasks, including thread management and breakpoint handling. The integration of the spreadsheet with the debugger allows for real-time updates of watched variables in a spreadsheet format. This development aims to streamline software development processes and improve user interaction with debugging tools, moving away from traditional command-line interfaces. Future enhancements are planned, including plotting capabilities and further integration with other Arcan projects.
