Any chance for C/C++ support via gdb or lldb?

It seems like currently all debugger packages for C/C++ for Atom are dead, sadly. Will this one eventually add C/C++ support to solve this issue, via lldb or gdb? That would make Atom way more feasible for system level development again.

@ell1e Yes, I will add support for C/C++. I am looking to make a full-fledged C/C++ package to support all the functionality including debugging.

If I may suggest, it seems like clangd might be a great option for the non-debugging parts like auto complete, go to declaration, etc. Not only does clangd work very well for me in VS Code with its useful output, but it also has a versatile config for extra options, like easily changing flags only for some files, through a .clangd file that can be put into the project root. While the same can be achieved with e.g. cmake and compile_commands.json, this needs a user to run an extra tool manually before getting correct diagnostics, while with clangd + .clangd it will instantly "just work" when opening the project in any IDE with any clangd-based diagnostics plugin, without doing any extra steps. Very cool.
