any quick advice on a lightweight simple logging library for clojure ? lightweight as not depending on log4j or slf4j

dont need much more than logging to console or to file and having simple log levels for filtering

Consider https://github.com/ptaoussanis/timbre

I have settled on pedestal log as my logging api and unilog as the logging configurator.

Another vote for timbre for logging

I don't think I'd class Timbre as "lightweight" or "simple" but it is what we use at work. I like that it can merge all of the myriad logging libraries into one Clojure-controlled stream 🙂
