Naming #37

Open matprec opened 5 years ago

matprec commented 5 years ago

The obvious name console is taken on crates.io.

An obvious candidate would be tracing-console, but that seems a bit... empty, maybe to functional?

Bikeshedding time!

Bear in mind that both the subscriber crate and the binary crate can be published to crates.io, so that users can cargo install the binary.

My guess, for this, is that while it will always support any tracing output, it will grow to have tokio specific functionality.

I think we can support powerful filters for tokio without special casing them specifically for tokio.

I'm a little bit reluctant to set precedent by baking in specific support. Yes, the console comes from tokio and ultimately its goal should be to support tokio well first. But i'm certain we can achieve good support without it.

I've talked about my plans with @hawkw and i'll let her be the judge if it makes sense to go down this route, but i'd prefer to not brand it as tokio-*, as it will be useful for the broader ecosystem.
