Timbre

Pure Clojure/Script logging library

Getting even the simplest Java logging working can be maddeningly complex, and it often gets worse at scale as your needs become more sophisticated.

Timbre offers an all Clojure/Script alternative that's fast, deeply flexible, easy to configure with pure Clojure data, and that just works out the box.

Supports optional interop with tools.logging and log4j/logback/slf4j.
