Request

There is a newer debug gem https://github.com/ruby/debug that offers a very comprehensive feature set, and a new VScode extension demonstrates it in action without any other extensions required: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=KoichiSasada.vscode-rdbg — specifically being able to remote debug code triggered from within-the-code-itself works great. It would be nice to explore switching the debugger over to the official extension as it has more features and appears to integrate well with with VSCode.

Note that rails is switching over to ruby/debug: https://www.bigbinary.com/blog/rails-7-replaced-byebug-with-ruby-debug — and ruby/debug will be bundled with Ruby 3.1: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2021/11/09/ruby-3-1-0-preview1-released/

Ruby 3.1 final is out and ruby/debug is now officially released: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2021/12/25/ruby-3-1-0-released/

Yeah debase doesn't work with ruby 3 at all, right? So ruby-debug-ide is entirely incompatible with ruby 3, isn't it?
