Idiomatic way of logging in Kotlin

Question

Kotlin doesn\'t have the same notion of static fields as used in Java. In Java, the generally accepted way of doing logging is:

public class Foo {
    privat         


        

Answer 1

I have heard of no idiom in this regard. The simpler the better, so I would use a top-level property

val logger = Logger.getLogger("package_name")

This practice serves well in Python, and as different as Kotlin and Python might appear, I believe they are quite similar in their "spirit" (speaking of idioms).
