Worlds of Logging in Haskell

Abstract

Logging is a rather boring yet ubiquitous task in software development. As usual, Haskell makes it exciting. How would you otherwise explain that there is an enormous amount of libraries which implement it? They differ a lot in their ideas and approaches, capabilities, Haskell features in use, performance, and infrastructure support. In this talk, I’ll make an attempt to categorize existing libraries for logging, give an overview of the most interesting and often used ones, show examples, and provide you with some guidelines on which library to take for your next Haskell project.
