I'm building a tool to allow you to change the log levels of your application at runtime. In order to do that, I need to show you a dropdown of the various log levels. Something like:
I started with Ruby so I put in DEBUG
INFO
WARN ERROR
FATAL
.
Of course, then I wanted to do it for Java, so I had to add TRACE
.
Then Python wanted CRITICAL
so... spreadsheet time.
Here's the sheet I ended up with. It was a fun tour.
I wrote up some details and ideas / humor about why I think each language chose what it chose here, but just take a look at the grid, I was surprised by how many there are.
