"yes world" doesn't make much sense, I think you should consider using "hello world" or maybe "FooBar" instead.

Hello and thanks for posting this issue!

I agree that "FooBar" (or "foobar") would be slightly more straight forward. I can however see a few benefits with my current solution. Let me explain how I reason:

  1. "Hello world" is kind of cliché, but by replacing the first word with "yes" I feel that I accomplish something more fresh, or innovative if you will. I believe this will positively affect user engagement and retention.
  2. The words "yes" and "world" appears more intuitive for non-developers than both "Foo" and "Bar". While "Bar" might be familiar to most users, its context is not meant to be associated with fancy alcoholic drinks, Spotify DJ or Jack Vegas machine.

I can however also see benefits with switching to the "FooBar" approach, one is possibly reduced response time as it would reduce the response size with about 3 bytes. To be completely sure, I think a good approach would be to set up A/B tests in order to make a metrics driven decision. Here are the variations I think it would make sense to include:

a. "yes world" (original)
b. "hello world"
c. "foobar"
d. "FooBar"

What are your thoughts on this?

Regards
sktttt

Hi thanks for the detailed response.

Sounds like a decent plan. Perhaps you should expand that to setting up some tests to measure the actual impact of the different response times too.

Other than that, great work and looking forward to future updates!
