Hi Andrew, I've been lurking on this list for months, hoping to see a message like this one. It really is Christmas :)
Over at the Julia project (http://julialang.org/), we're in need of a good debugger. Is your project in a public repository? If so, would you be willing to point to a branch or series of commits that shows how far along you are? I agree it would be great to see LLDB support this use case.
