Hi guys. The Kermit <https://kermit.touchlab.co/|website> says "Disable local logging for production, or even strip log statements altogether with a compiler plugin". I am  interested in the latter i.e. "strip log statements altogether with a compiler plugin". Is such a compiler plugin available? I couldn't find any information on that. If it exists, can somebody please point me to it?

There was. The code is still there (<https://github.com/touchlab/Kermit/tree/main/plugin>), but we'd need to update it. I added it maybe 2 years ago, as it seemed pretty useful, but we never used it, and nobody I'm aware of did either, so I didn't prioritize it when we did v2. Will add an issue to review bringing that back.

It did quite literally just "erase" all logging calls.

Thank you, Kevin. It would great to have the ability to "erase" the logging calls.

Hey, Any updates on this. Any other way to strip logs? Thanks!

No updates. been fully busy with tons of other stuff.

So there’s absolutely no way to remove logs? I guess if we set min severity, we can turn the logs off, right?

Oh, yeah! Just set the log level. What we're talking about here was a compiler plugin that actually removed all logging calls from the binary itself. In theory, that would make the binary slightly smaller and have a slight performance increase, but it really wasn't used by anybody.
If you just want to prevent logs from being written, set the min severity.
