Based on the child thread about zap vs slog I think I might not have been clear in my phrasing. The issue isn’t the specific functions used to print to the screen, it’s that library code is doing it at all. As the user of a library, I don’t want that library printing things to the screen if I don’t explicitly tell it to; decisions on logging/printing text to the screen are the responsibility of the person writing the end-user application code, not the library author. If the library author feels really strongly about printing stuff on the screen, they should make that behavior opt in, either with a configuration option or by providing some other mechanism that gives the user as much control over that behavior as possible (hence my example of throwing printing behavior into a user-supplied io.Writer)
