Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

jfc was my working title when I started the project a couple of weeks ago. Arguments against it include the following:

  1. It’s hard to search for.
  2. The acronym happens to coincide with a profane bit of Internet slang.
  3. Nobody ever, ever wants to be confused with the Java Foundation Classes.

I still like it. I prefer package names to be reverse domain names owned by the project developers (I get annoyed every time I have to write e.g. import _root_.argonaut._ because of an argonaut subpackage somewhere). io.jfc is unambiguous in that respect and short enough that writing out the fully-qualified name isn’t too much of a burden.

@non’s “circe” is the best alternative candidate I’ve heard so far, but I’m happy to consider others.

Love it, specifically because of (2) above. I’m a fan of edgy names 😃
