State of the art: log4cats

[diesalbla]

Good evening.

I have taken a look at the current code in this project. From what I have seen of the current code, its goal is to create a set of tagless logging algebras, or traits parameterised on an effect-type F[_], to support the common logging operations, based on the functional Scala libraries cats and cats-effect.

There is another library, log4cats, which is already pursuing those goals. It is being developed by . Its being developed Its latest release provides such features as:

• Integrations with logger systems other than slf4j, such as scribe and log4s.
• Integrations with type classes of cats.
• Support for structured logging.
• A microsite, something that is pending work for this project Add microsite docs #3.

It is my most humble opinion that the log4cats project already is in a more mature state of development than the current one. The goal of this issue is to make the the developers behind this project, such as @llfrometa89, aware of the existence of log4cats, so that they may take it into account when considering the development of the current project.

Kind regards.

Hi Diego,
Thank you so much for your comments. If I have some knowledge of log4cats library, I took some ideas to develop logger4s. I decided to implement some things adapted to my taste, everyone who is interested in contributing and using it will be always welcome.
