> If I recall correctly, it was developed as an alternative (Go port) of a popular log analyzer Hmm, I think you might be mixing things up, goaccess is written in C and probably not written as an alternative to lnav.

You are leaving out other trade-offs, like the program crashing when something memory-unsafe is done. It is not simply a performance trade-off. Many folks would rather have the language catch this at compile-time instead of hoping that th

re: man page - It looks like there is no support for man pages from the snap infrastructure. So, there's not much I can do. The "stable" version of the snap is really old (circa 2023) at this point because I have been shy ab

Yep, I would say the stiffest competition for lnav is the old tools[1]. I would just hope folks could have an open mind and give "new" things a chance (although lnav has been on github for 17 years). [1] - https://lnav

Speaking as the author, I too wish it was written in Rust. But, I started it in 2007 when I needed to get practice with C++ for work. At this point, there's so much code in lnav, rewriting would be a long process. There are some sub

To elaborate on this, lnav ( https://lnav.org ) is always polling files to check for new data and will load it in automatically. It does not require the user to do anything. As far as following the tail of the file: if the focuse

> It’s a bit odd to use I would say it's a bad UX and not just odd. I can't see any benefit to making it modal. It should just load new data as it becomes available without making the user do anything.

The PRQL[1] syntax is built around pipelines and works pretty well. I added a similar "get results as you type" feature to the SQLite integration in the Logfile Navigator (lnav)[2]. When entering PRQL queries, the preview will sho

The article makes it sound like it uses various command-line tools (bash/awk/head/tail) to process the logs. So, I imagine it's not a huge leap to extend support to using journalctl to do that work instead.
