If the compiler used produces good enough debug information for a given
language and if GDB knows how to handle it then Nemiver should be able
to support that language modulo some specific work here and there.

Or rather the tripplet compiler/GDB/Nemiver are not properly tailored
for the task :-)

As one of the maintainers, I would say that I am open to support other
languages in the future. The only limiting factor I see for now is the
man power. We are not that many people hacking on Nemiver so we need to
use our resources efficiently.

That being said, I welcome ideas about things that users need -- even if
we cannot work on those immediately.

Thanks.
