Hello,

I gave up on setting up a development environment on Windows that would allow me to use debugger for Swift project. I think the problem had to do with lldb installation and/or its dependencies. Currently, I am using WSL and Swift's vscode extension ([Swift - Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sswg.swift-lang)) to debug the project. However, the build takes so long compared to building without WSL.

I am wondering if there is advice I could get for setting up a debugger on Windows without WSL? Thank you so much!
