I have a personal mission to never name any libraries with the -ex prefix

Curious, why?

  • Early in the Elixir days, every library was named Thing-ex of ex-Thing.

    IMO this is really lazy in terms of naming and from a usage perspective, you get really tired of typing that out in code.

    I think we can do better

    • Suffixing a name with -ex often results in unique names, which helps filtering search results. I see a slight problem with name ending on an s though.

      Also, aren't you the author of jqex? ;)
