In rust, the common debug message function would be log::info! or log::debug!, with two lines of setup to make logs print to stderr. Or for something more ad-hock, there's dbg! (which adds context what you are printing, and doesn't care about your logging config). Not that people don't use print for the purpose, but it's basically never the best choice. I assume Dada is conceived with the same mindset.
I disagree—println! is far more common for every day printf debugging than the log crate is. Do i have any evidence of this? No, but it takes less to type and is harder to mess up with log levels while working just as effectively.
