I couldn't find a logging library that worked for my library, so I made one

Wasn't OpenTelemetry invented for this purpose?

The JS impl of OpenTel is awfully glued together. Sorry for the maintainers, but its inefficient and prometheus+logging will outmatch OT any day of the week (at least for JS)

Which OpenTel impl isn't awfully glued together? When I looked at Rust implementation... I felt really bad. I feel like rolling my own logging is the only option.

Well, touche. But then my conclusion would shift from "JS OT is bad" to "OT is bad".

I'd hate that, because I like the idea about a standard for telemetry, but the reality is that most projects don't need this amount of insight (when you have to give up so much speed)
