I have been trying to find an equivalent for `tracing` first in Python and this week in TypeScript/JavaScript. At my work I created an internal post called "Better Python Logging? Tracing for Python?" that basically asks this question. OpenTelemetry was also what I looked at and since I have looked at other tooling.

It is hard to explain how convenient `tracing` is in Rust and why I sorely miss it elsewhere. The simple part of adding context to logs can be solved in a myriad of ways, yet all boil down to a similar "span-like" approach. I'm very interested in helping bring what `tracing` offers to other programming communities.

It very likely is worth having some people from the space involved, possibly from the tracing crate itself.

We’ll fund solving this as long as the committees agree with the goal. We just want standard tracing implementations.
