---------------------------------------------------------------
Coincidentally, I had to learn Kotlin for a gig I just had starting last
December, so nowadays I'm a bit more comfortable with the language and can
provide feedback. One thing I'd suggest based on a different Kotlin logging
framework I tried out is perhaps offering a way to inject the logger into the
companion object. For example:
{code}
class Foo {
companion object : Logging
fun foo() {
logger.info("Hello, $world")
}
}
{code}
What's neat is this would be vaguely similar to how the Scala API works as a
mixin. You can define a val with an initial value in an interface AFAIK, so you
could offer said Logging mixin for either the class itself or the companion
object (though via the companion object, we may need custom code to get the
correct class name for the logger).
