The goal of well-written code should be that it's as easy to read and
understand as possible, even to yourself years down the line. (I think
most programmers have experienced the phenomenon where they have to
read code that they wrote years ago and have hard time remembering
anymore what it's doing, and thus have to re-decipher it.)

It is by no means a controversial or niche position that using clear
readable variable and function names is one of these ways. You can
find plenty of coding style guidelines out there, including those
used by big corporations, that instruct this very thing (I gave a
couple of examples earlier in this thread). What you will *not*
find is any coding style guideline that would state the opposite
(ie. that abbreviated names and acronyms are preferred over
written-out names).

What I have been writing in this thread is that I can confirm with my
own personal experience that that wisdom is quite true: When names are
written clearly and understandably, to describe what the thing is for,
it really does make the code that much easier to understand from the
get-go. Conversely, when cryptic abbreviations and acronyms are used,
it tends to make the code all that much harder to decipher (especially
when it's not clear at all what an abbreviation or acronym is supposed
to be for.)

This is not about "longer is clearer". The exact same thing would be true
if it were extremely common to write 100-character variable and function
names, which would make code less readable: In this case the reduced
readability comes from the excessive length, and the recommendation
would be to express things more succinctly. However, this is in general
not a problem that happens in code out there, and thus it doesn't
really need to be criticized. The other extreme is the one that's
*overwhelmingly* popular, and thus worthy of criticism.

The fact that "use full English words" happens to oftentimes produce
longer names is not the key point. It's just incidental. It's not
the length that makes the names clearer, it's the content: When
full words are used, it makes it easier to read. Length has nothing
to do with it. (Thus my repeated assertions that "it's not about
length, it's about readability.")

Also, the 80-character line length limit is completely arbitrary in
this day and age. Sure, in the era of 80-character-wide terminals
it was relevant, but pretty much nobody uses those anymore, and that
number, 80, has become completely arbitrary. There's nothing wrong
in lengthening that limit a bit.

That being said, if you still find yourself writing lines of code
that are excessively long, perhaps that could be an indication
that the code could perhaps be written in another better way.
Shortening the variable names to make the line shorter is not
a solution. It's more like an ugly hack, a workaround (which is
often done at the expense of readability).

None of these are my original ideas (as I have been accused of
claiming). I am merely repeating common wisdom which I have found
to be quite accurate. (I don't even understand why I'm being,
still, accused of thinking that these are somehow some new novel
ideas that I came up with and which I have been trying to shove
onto others. None of this is new. You can find coding guidelines
that are decades old that state these ideas. These are not my
ideas, I'm just repeating them.)
