Scriba: Structured logging in Lisp with multiple backends and auto-config (Scheme library)

<p>I’ve been working on Scriba, a structured logging library built specifically for Guile Scheme with flexibility, performance, and easy configuration in mind.</p> <p><a href="https://codeberg.org/jjba23/scriba" rel="ugc">https://codeberg.org/jjba23/scriba</a></p> <p>It’s still in the early stages of development, and before locking in the core architecture, I wanted to share it with this great community to get your thoughts, critiques, and ideas.</p> <p>So Far:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Auto-Configured Logger: The easiest way to get started. It reads environment variables (LOG_LEVEL, LOG_FORMAT, etc.) to determine the backend at runtime. Perfect for using a console logger in local dev and JSON structured logging in production (for Loki/Datadog/etc.).</p> </li> <li> <p>Console, Color Console, Syslog and Structured JSON loggers</p> </li> <li> <p>Dynamic Log Context means you can easily attach metadata to your logs for better observability. Parameterize allows also seamless nesting context with maximum performance.</p> </li> <li> <p>Logger creation is cached. Subsequent calls to create the identically configured logger anywhere in your codebase are completely instant.</p> </li> <li> <p>Most of the heavy lifting is done at compile time with macro expansion</p> </li> </ul> <p>Since this is an early release, I’m very open to pivoting or adjusting things based on community feedback.</p> <p>Do you agree with the current design and architecture? What features would you consider "must-haves" for a Lisp logging library?</p> <p>Are there any specific pain points in logging you'd like to see solved?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p><a href="https://lobste.rs/s/xhucas/scriba_structured_logging_lisp_with">Comments</a></p>
