What is your solution to those cross cutting concerns like logging?

What is logging? Simply stated, it is printing to a filehandle.

Pretty much everyone is comfortable using STDOUT and STDERR. And STDERR serves all my logging needs.

But if you want your logging to go to a different place than STDERR, what's wrong with (say) STDLOG?

Point it to a file or port as needed.

Want to turn logging off, direct it to the null device.

Want your logging to add boilerplate (timestamps, callstack, threadids etc.), tie *STDLOG.

Once it is tied, routing to multiple destinations is easy.

IMO, L::L4p is a "let's pretend we're java bunnies", grandiose overkill, behemoth of a package dynasty of packages, that makes writing a few bits of text to a file, laborious, complicated and expensive.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?
