You lost me at the "slash"...but seriously, I recommend a slight
rephrasing of Mike Reid's line as the official journal tag line: "lib
fast, dev young, and leave good looking code". But then I've always
been a sucker for such shenanigans.

"Solidus" is the name given to the glyph by ISO in it's character set
documents, as I recall, although I don't have a reference close at
hand.
Interestingly, Wikipedia claims that the solidus and the virgule are
typographically distinct, with the solidus being "significantly more
oblique than the virgule." But then, it goes on to say that we use
the
virgule in our URLs, since that's what we get on the keyboard.[1]
