have fun without those debug symbols
Why wouldn't I have debug symbols in the software I'm developing?
And what happens when you release it?
If you want the same traces as Java and python in the meme, you leave them, if you don't you strip them. Or you ship them separately. You decide, like a big boy.
Have the user compile it without debug symbols to save space. If the user has a problem they can just recompile it with debug symbols and see what went wrong with gdb.
