One of the Go founders (Andrew Gerrand) gave the rule of thumb that the greater the distance between a name’s declaration and its uses, the longer the name should be (https://talks.golang.org/2014/names.slide). There can be exceptions, but I rather like and prefer well chosen single letter names for locals in many cases due to less typing and that the structure can be understood more quickly. Comments as appropriate that help readers figure out why the particular letter was chosen are nice, of course, when it’s not obvious, but that’s just my $0.02… :) _______________________________________________ Cake mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cake
