[swift-corelibs-dev] Standard logging facility

[Tony Parker]

Hi Alex,

Since logging is a fairly broad topic, and would result in new API, I think we should follow the Swift evolution process for this idea. Check out the process here:

https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/process.md

It’ll be important to discuss this on the swift-evolution list as well.

Thanks,
- Tony

Logging is certainly an area where there are a lot of opinions about the "right way", so I imagine it would be quite a project to invent something in this area that meets the needs of most projects.
