Your library should just take a *slog.Logger, and using *slog.Logger is an orthogonal choice to zap/zerolog/whatever. Those compete with slog.TextHandler or slog.JSONHandler, and sure, if you’re performance sensitive don’t pick th

To beat an incumbent you need to be 2x better. Right now it seems to be a 1.1x better (for any reasonably sized projects) work in progress with kinks you’d expect from a work in progress and questionable ecosystem buy-in. That may be okay f

I think the most concerning part is all the third party libraries already on life support or already abandoned a few years ago will all die during the switch.

You do realize that if you go by "national averages" American math education is pretty bad right? People aren't leaving for countries with great national average in math. That's basically irrelevant.

The annoying thing is the official Swift extension can sometimes flag errors in perfectly fine code with zero problem in Xcode. So I’m forced to live with persistent “errors” when editing in VS Code/Cursor.

S-expressions are a nice gimmick, but it’s not the fundamental reason why some Lisps support dynamic patching of code at runtime. Indeed you can easily imagine Lisp written in M-expressions and still support that. Or you can imagine other d
