- <p>LLDB is in early development and supports basic debugging scenarios on
- Mac OS X. The public API has not been finalized, and different parts are
- at different levels of maturity. We welcome any help fleshing out missing
- pieces and improving the code.</p>
+ <p>LLDB has matured a lot in the last year and can be used for
+ C, C++ and Objective C development for x86_64, i386 and ARM debugging.
+ The entire public API is exposed though a framework on Mac OS X which
+ is used by Xcode, the lldb command line tool, and can also be used by
+ python. The entire public API is exposed through script bridging which
+ allows LLDB to use an embedded python script interpreter, as well as
+ having a python module named "lldb" which can be used from python
+ on the command line. This allows debug sessions to be scripted. It also
+ allows powerful debugging actions to be created and attached to a variety
+ of debugging workflows.</p>
