Some backtraces are quite large, an option is to increase your terminal
buffer -- but dumping to a file is also useful if you want to share the
crash.
I'm not crazy about the way I hacked this in, but it felt like the least
invasive way for now and I don't want to cause a regression with the
debugger. It's also nice that it dumps with ansi colors as then you can
view the backtrace with the original coloring:
Usage:
```clj
(:di "./stacktrace.log")
```
- You can define a `startup.gc` in your user folder, each line will be
executed on startup (deprecates the usefulness of some cli flags)
- You can define a `repl-config.json` file to override REPL settings.
Long-term this is a better approach than a bunch of CLI flags as well
- Via this, you can override the amount of time the repl will attempt to
listen for the target
- At the same time, I think i may have found why on Windows it can
sometimes take forever to timeout when the game dies, will dig into this
later
- Added some keybinds for common operations, shown here

> builds the game, connects to it, attaches a debugger and continues,
launches it, gets the backtrace, stops the target -- all with only
keybinds.
If you want these keybinds to work inside VSCode's integrated terminal,
you need to add the following to your settings file
```json
"terminal.integrated.commandsToSkipShell": [
"-workbench.action.quickOpen",
"-workbench.action.quickOpenView"
]
```
Favors the `lg` namespace over `fmt` directly, as this will output the
logs to a file / has log levels.
I also made assertion errors go to a file, this unfortunately means
importing `lg` and hence `fmt` which was attempted to be avoided before.
But I'm not sure how else to do this aspect without re-inventing the
file logging.
We have a lot of commented out prints as well that we should probably
cleanup at some point / switch them to trace level and default to `info`
level.
I noticed the pattern of disabling debug logs behind some boolean,
something to consider cleaning up in the future -- if our logs were more
structured (knowing where they are coming from) then a lot this
boilerplate could be eliminated.
