that means "lumberjack" so it doesn't have the appropriate semantics.
The use is generally acceptable as a nice play on words and as a
disambiguator between the verb "to log" and the noun "log". When we
actually want to talk about the current log in an application, we
should, however, call it "the log". This is negotiable.
I really don't care how a global Logger instance is called. Anyone
else has an opinion on this? Otherwise Andrei wins.
I don't see anything wrong with "logger". A "driver" is something that
drives (a device), a "logger" is something that logs.
Such logic doesn't apply to vocabularies. Is an "irater" someone who
irates, a "messer" someone who creates a mess etc?
Just "log" would
be ok, too. Both are in common use, and are terms that I would use
intuitively.
"defaultLogger" or "currentLogger" might also be ok, but don't read as
nicely. But please not "theLogger".
Sure not, it's theLog. I'm okay with stdlog.
