Module naming conventions

Suppose you have a single module defining say JoesApp.lib.misc and put it in a file called crypto/utilities/rsa.ex this will confuse everybody and is a violation of the principle of least astonishment. If you have hundreds of thousands of modules then you’ll have to build an index to find a particular module.

Exactly. The convention would ask you to put it inside lib/joes_app/lib/misc.ex. So as long as you follow the convention, not surprises should arise.
