In practice this would presumably be part of the Pluto cell UI somehow; perhaps folded away but available in a popup.

Obviously there's a lot of options for how to do this nicely, and it would be cool if there was UI to do some light filtering, and perhaps an option to map variables to column of the table, and to display Julia values richly in a similar way to the default Pluto output.

The example here is a bit of a formatting disaster, really!

Yep! We will use Base.@info, and define our own logger! I got it working today:

Great! Curious where this leads us!

☺

@fonsp I'm happy to help with integrating this as much as you need. I think the tooling on the Julia side is actually almost all there, it's the UI which seems like a lot of work to me ;-)

route stdout lines to @info messages

@j-fu note that Logging2.jl library already has a way to do this. It's nascent but I can release a version if it's useful.

I see. Indeed it seems that Logging2.jl has what I would love to see, with a more profound way to implement this.
IMHO worth to be merged into Logging.jl ...

Yeah, that's the plan — it's basically a staging area for Logging. The problem with Logging is that — like all other stdlibs — its release cycle is tied to releases of Julia. So for now Logging2 is separate.
