This replaces the zap logging engine with Go 1.21's new structured logger, log/slog, or more precisely a thin wrapper around that (xlog).

The log/slog package has a few things missing, which are present in xlog:

  1. xlog provides a no-op logger, which simply discards any log output. This is extensively used in our tests.
  2. xlog has a Fatal() output method, which simply calls Error() and then os.Exit(1).
  3. xlog does not provide global convenience functions to access a default logger instance; all calls must go through a Logger instance created with New().
  4. xlog treats error values as first-class citizen. Since (log/slog).Error() is a convenience function for their default logger instance, there is no built-in way to treat errors as values. In comparison, (xlog).Error(err) constructs an slog.Attr.

Point (2) is debatable, since xlog.Fatal is only used in cmd/texd/main.go, so I'd be willing to forfeit it.

Some TODOs remain:

  • xlog, i.e. its extension over log/slog, is not really tested
  • more documentation
  • switch to functional options for xlog.New()
  • colorization (at least for local development)

This replaces the zap logging engine with Go 1.21's structured
logger, log/slog, or more precisely a thin wrapper around that
("xlog").

The log/slog package has a few things missing, which are
present in xlog:

1. xlog provides a no-op logger, which simply discards any log output.
   This is extensively used in our tests.
2. xlog has a Fatal() output method, which simply calls Error() and then
   os.Exit(1).
3. xlog treats error values as first-class citizen. Since (log/slog).Error()
   is a convenience function for their default logger instance, there is
   no built-in way to treat errors as values. In comparison, (xlog).Error()
   constructs an slog.Attr, since xlog does not provide a default logger.

Point (2) is debatable, since xlog.Fatal is only used in cmd/texd/main.go,
so I'd be willing to forfeit it.

Some TODOs remain:

- xlog, i.e. its extension over log/slog, is not really tested
- documentation is missing
- the current xlog constructor (New) is a bit clunky to use,
  maybe switch to functional options?
- some tests create a local buffer as log output target - this
  could be made easier with a `log, buf := xlog.NewBuffered()`
  constructor (albeit, the overhead is minimal)
- for local development, I still like to have some colorization

Y'know, for performance. Logging is intense
