On Linux I would recommend compiling with LDC (dub defaults to 
debug mode, otherwise use `-g`) and using LLDB.

Additionally for string, array and AA support use 
https://github.com/Pure-D/dlang-debug/#lldb (code-d section in 
README is for upcoming release, you need to follow the manual 
install procedures)

For VSCode I recommend using the 
[CodeLLDB](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vadimcn.vscode-lldb) extension, it works pretty well.
