I've seen the API, and it's not either of those things if you've already used a structured logger?

  I've never seen a structured logging library with concepts like Attrs, Groups, or Records like those defined by slog.

    Attr is the same concept as https://pkg.go.dev/go.uber.org/zap#Field https://pkg.go.dev/go.uber.org/zap#Field , and Zap pioneered this whole field. Group is pretty much https://pkg.go.dev/go.uber.org/zap#Namespace https://pkg.go.dev/go.uber.org/zap#Namespace Record is the interface to log sinks, not something the typical programmer worries about.

      Haha, zap did not pioneer anything, what are you talking about.

        "Haha", great attitude dissing other people's work. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html What Go structured logging libraries predate Zap's 2016 creation? Only one I can remember is Logrus, which was using type Fields map[string]interface{}, the bad qualities of which are kinda the whole reason for Zap's creation, and slog follows the Zap-style API[1].
