Re^3: the "@" indicates plural hence "s" is redundant

I have to admit that ReallyHardToReadStyleForLongNames or much_easier_to_read_style_even_for_long_names - indeed anything much bigger than slightly_long_name - are on my personal list of Code Smells.

A variable name that's that long tends to indicate to me that there is some piece of abstraction that I'm missing.

(oh yes, I prefer "_" too :-)

True enough, and I generally don't tend to have more than two underscores in identifiers either. But should the name get long, as it sometimes does, it remains readable, though granted it doesn't happen often. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]


Do you know where your variables are?
