Luerl++ is not a valid module name :)

More seriously, I considered alternate names, but settled on this because it was short, literal, and given that its in the context of Elixir, makes sense when using it.

As you stated, the hope is to consolidate it into Luerl at some point

Have you considered "Luex", a nod to Luerl but with the typical Elixir suffix?

Humble appeal, because they'd win instantly: Please don't steal my useless project's name [0].

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? ;)

Touche, although that is a 5 line utility.

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