Logging in 2020

I was really surprised that Scribe logging framework that I use at work isn't even mentioned here. What is more, it doesn't even appear on the first page in Google after searching "scala logging". But this page appears when googling it! So let me leave that here.

Main advantages of Scribe:

• it is NOT a slf4j wrapper
• supports also Scala.js and Scala Native
• it is really fast, check comparison here: https://www.matthicks.com/2018/02/scribe-2-fastest-jvm-logger-in-world.html
