Hi,

First, I absolutely love this library! That's why I'm pushing it throughout our company but there is something that keeps coming up: It's only for Python. It would be awesome to track logs across the different micro-services in our organisation, but for that I need everyone to use the same standard. So my question is:

Is there, or will there ever be, Eliot for another programming language (e.g. NodeJS)?

If not, is it possible to get better documentation on the Eliot log format so it's easier to implement in other languages?

Thanks!

@gijswobben I'd also like to see a more formal description of the Eliot log structure, I've been considering a Clojure implementation.

I did a pretty direct port of the Python implementation in Javascript a few years ago. I've never used it and I haven't maintained it but it does have unit tests and may only require minimal changes to implement recent Eliot improvements, possibly a useful base from which to start?

Ah nice, thanks! I'll have a look at your code.

As for the "formal description", can we turn this into a documentation request?

A formal description does sound like a good idea, yeah.
