Lug

A small Ruby logger for debugging libraries and applications. Pretty much a clone of debug for Node.js

Features

• Smaller and faster than Ruby's logger
• Colorized output for tty output devices (like stderr)
• Filter log messages by namespace
• Standard logger interface (responds to #debug, #warn, #error, etc.)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'lug'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install lug

Usage

Benchmark

Performance comparison between Ruby's Logger class and Lug logger classes. TtyLogger colorizes output and calculates elapsed time between lines.
