100% well said! Exactly how to handle log/print/metrics (as results/returns from functions) has been on my mental back burner for years. It's proper (but goofy) to pass in a `logger` object to every function, but the pra

"Source Available" and "Open Source" (with an OSI-approved license) are the terms you're looking for. "Free as in speech, or free as in beer?" is your rallying cry.

Simpler production format! No case, reels, moving parts, stretched/torn tape. If you never saw a smashed cassette on the side of the road with a reel of magnetic ribbon tangled in the weeds and bushes then you wouldn't understand.
