We'll have to agree to disagree. I think long variable names for short-lived variables decreases readability. Oftentimes these "points" are just used to glue functional pipelines together and have little-to-no intrinsic meaning. The true documentation comes from the types and is thus more trustworthy.

Oftentimes there is ML code in which both, types are implied and variable names are typical to functional programming (a,b,c,d,e) style.

In C or C++ this newer was the case, because type information was never implied (until recently, when auto was introduced). And in dynamic languages, like Python, this is also almost never the case, because good mainstream developers use object names consistently.

In the functional world however, mainstream (if there is any mainstream, as I often see each developer working in his/her own unique style) folks just say phrases like 'true documentation comes from the types' and write their recursions freely, and with no regard to the reader.

So yes. We'll have to agree to disagree.
