I was on this talk expecting to hear about MongoDB abusing open source (as you could guess from my profile, that’s a topic dear to my heart). Instead, I saw the most entertaining talk in my life.

Yet most, if not all, READMEs of official branches recommend using mutable vM tags. Not even branches — tags that they re-create.

You can make it run much better by increasing the game's process priority with `renice`. I know that sounds like something that should not work, but it does.

As a producer of the response, if I didn't care about being understood, I would use a made-up language. As a consumer, you may care about understanding my response, but you cannot do anything about it.

I think you missed the “any handler” part. Currently, the types that my library package could use depend on the handler used by the caller. This limits types to an unspecified subset, making things quite impractical.

by aleksi 1y ago
1) The idea is that your library should accept the slog logger and use it. The caller would create a logger with a handler that defines how log messages are handled. But there are problems with supported types; see my other comments. 2) It

My problem with that is that it makes it impossible to use slog logger safely without knowing what handler is being used. Which kind of defeats the purpose of defining the common structured logging interface.

Not sure I understand your sarcasm. I read the documentation, source code, handler writing guide, and issues in the Go repository multiple times over two years, and I use slog extensively. Go is my primary language since r60. I think I know

So clearly not all values are supported. And I know that I can create a wrapper for unsupported types. My problem is exactly that – I don't know what types are supported. Is error supported, for example? Should I create a wrapper for i

by aleksi 1y ago
Well, is fmt.Stringer supported? The result might surprise you: req := expvar.NewInt("requests") req.Add(1) attr := slog.Any("requests", req) slog.New(slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stderr, nil)).Info("text&

My biggest gripe with slog is that there is no clear guidance on supported types of attributes. One could argue that supported types are the ones provided by Attr "construct" functions (like slog.String, slog.Duration, etc), but i

I open-sourced my MongoDB alternative, and all I got was this lousy lawsuit.

> It's too slow to run in prod to be worth it I disagree there. It is reasonable to run a few service instances with a race detector. I have a few services where _all_ instances are running with it just fine.

There is FerretDB v1, which provides MongoDB protocol for SQLite. See https://github.com/FerretDB/FerretDB/tree/main-v1
