noodlog VS glog

For example, github.com/gyozatech/noodlog provides a similar function, but it assumes conversion to JSON, and type information is lost in the output stage. Since zlog basically performs hiding while preserving the types, you can freely choose the format of the final output.

I started a poll on r/golang with these four candidates, but also came to know about glog which was a go port of a C++ project by Google. I used that option in the poll conducted on LinkedIn.

Other than print and formatted print to stdout and stderr, what more do you need? I adapted much of the glog rationale into a logging wrapper. Allowing many thousands of unneeded lines from Logrus to be avoided. https://github.com/golang/glog

check out glog, it supports flags out out the box

By globals, I mean global resources outside of the codes namespace. It may not even be a resource in the process, such as a log file or temporary directory or a database. If you have two versions of a crate in their completely separate worlds, and call both of their init_logging() functions to log to a file specified by an environment variable, things are likely to go pear shaped when they stomp over each others log file.

I'm a Rust novice, but the example I tripped over in Go was https://github.com/golang/glog. It has a module level init() initialization routine that makes calls to the stdlib flags package, manipulating the default command line flags (a global resource). If you ended up with multiple versions of glog via transient dependencies, your program would panic on startup as the second version's init() would make calls only allowed to be called once. Rust thankfully avoids this particular one by requiring initialization to be called by main() (apart from the hack described in the article).

There is no better way than looking at your older brothers and learning from them: stdlib log, glog, logrus, zerolog, log15 (eth fork)...

Also glog is the name of Google logging library which is confusing. https://github.com/golang/glog

the 5th hit looks like something made 6-8 yrs ago which would have worked: https://github.com/golang/glog
