## Who/What is this extension for

- **Educators** - You can easily visualize the code which makes some difficult concepts easier to understand for your students.
- **Self-teaching** - Help yourself understand and debug code
- **Research**
- **Presentation**
- **Anyone who likes fun graphs** - Seriously, who doesn't!

## What is this extension not good with

- **Ease of use with compiled languages** - There's not yet good support for pre-compiled languages. The "data extractors" of the debug-visualizer work well with JS based languages but there are no "data extractors" yet for any pre-compiled languages.

What this means for you, is if you want to use it with pre-compiled languages, you'll have to integrate code inside your codebase; code that returns data only the **debug-visualizer** understands.

If you're interested in helping to solve this issue, you can help by [contributing](./CONTRIBUTING.md) :)
