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”
