Log: A minimal, colorful Go logging library 🪵
I also think there's a lot more that can be done if your focus is on "human readable" beyond just "logging with colors". I've played around with this myself while trying slog on for size and inspired by humanlog. Things like visually distinguishing the message, while also visually minimizing the timestamp with color and marking keyvals differently to the main message and even allowing for indentation and grouping of output are important considerations when you know you have a TTY and don't care about being machine-readable or even particularly fast. In that regard, I think that charmbracelet/log could be doing more.
