I’m glad you cited Ruby, as it’s definitely the exact opposite of what you said about elm. Every damn gem has an idiotic cutesy name. I think it’s one reason why every mature Rails project I’ve seen in the corporate world has direct dependencies on five or six different http client wrappers. New developers would look in the Gemfile, find no “http” anything, then google “ruby gem http client” and, since that happens to be a diverse category, eventually developers will find and add all such libraries.
I’m hoping that with AI, maybe this will be less common, because an AI agent should easily see that you have, say, Faraday installed already, and not bring in the noob magnet that is httparty.
