Why is the directory for the application source code named "lib"?
I’m curious why the directory for the application’s source code is named “lib” and not, say, “src” or “app.” Does anyone know the history behind that? It’s not a problem or anything, and I’m sure there’s some reasoning behind it. I just find it a bit odd, since “src” or “app” seems to be the established norm in most other stacks.

It’s not src because src is used by erlang and mix does support erlang source files if you happen to have ones in that folder.

Probably copied from Ruby
The default value is “lib”

And :app also has a meaning.
In the end it does not really matter as far as I am concerned.
