I think go loggers have tried to move away from passing log entries as maps for performance reasons.

That seems like a problem that should be solved. Logging structured data is a very basic expectation.

This is structured logging. Stubbornly insisting that "structured logging" === "map" is dumb and ignores a large fraction of use cases where performance matters.

Are there languages that solve the “performance“ problem with maps? In fact, isn’t Go one of them?

Avoiding the map allocation & construction cost is way harder than avoiding the use of a map, like zap and slog.LogAttrs do.
