The fastest console.log() ever?

[charnould]

First, it might be a totally stupid idea.
If so, say it and close this discussion :-)

Foreword: console.log() is here server-side.

Idea

1. Best practices say "do not console.log() in production"
2. But it's needed to debug your app, so some of us use Pino (or alternatives)
3. What if Bun extends console.log() to make it the fastest Pino ever/possible?

Advantages:

• Bun = battery-included
• Freaking fast from A to Z.

This would be awesome. I tried console.log(), console.write(), process.stdout.write() and they all seem fast enough, but maybe it is possible to go faster?

FYI: node:diagnostics_channel should now be used for APM.

I did't know about node:diagnostics_channel.

Does it mean that for writing logs in production, the way to go is:

• use node:diagnostics_channel
• write something like below to log it (using console.log, pino, or whatever)?

channel.subscribe({ error }) => {
  console.error('An error', error)
})
