Experimental library for handling logging in Clojure first way.
Most Clojure logging libraries are wrappers to an exiting Java libraries. I was wondering what a Clojure first solution would look like.
This library is Clojure logging library with SLF4J API for compatibility with existing Java libraries.
The major differences to existing solutions are:
- Clojure friendly output out of the box
- Write log output to
System/outleaving REPL (that uses*out*) clean - The main logging API is done with macros that do not emit any code if the logging level is lower than configured level
- About 7x faster than logback
The default appender function (you can make your own, it's just a function) aims for developer happiness. It has following defaults:
- Output is colored by log level, gray for debug, green for info, red for errors etc.
- Namespaces are truncated so that
foo.bar.bozbecomesf.b.boz - Exceptions are printed with the root cause first
- Only the root cause stack trace is printed completely
- Stacktraces print clojure names as they are found in clojure files, so that function
hello!is printed ashello!, instead ifhello_BANG_
