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? ;)

    • Touche, although that is a 5 line utility.

      Filtering which search results? On hex.pm that’s irrelevant. On good “library name + elixir”
