Do you need to understand a complex application? Most logging systems simply tell you some disjointed facts that you need to work hard to turn into a story. In contrast, Eliot provides structured, action-oriented logging: it tells you who did what and when, and whether it succeeded or failed. Eliot logs tell a story, of actions causing other actions. Release 1.0 is the result of over 3 years of development, and real-world usage of Eliot in many distributed applications. To learn more about Eliot I recommend reading the introduction: http://eliot.readthedocs.io/en/1.0.0/introduction.html -- Itamar Turner-Trauring
