This is a great example that shows how poor most non-web debugging and logging. The ability to mix and match data types and presentation format is extremely useful. Almost everywhere else we just have printf. And that’s printf going to stdout — there isn’t a universally deployed format to even allow it to travel easily over the network and be viewed on one of many useful and advanced viewers.
I think part of the problem is that programmers rarely want to get into these supportive details; they just printf and get on with it.
