I'm not a fan of cryptic variable names, either, and I try to use descriptive names wherever I can. But in Haskell... - ... you often have variables, which have a scope of far less than a line such as in "map (\(x, (_, y)) -> (x, y) ..." (cleaning intermediate results from a list). - ... things often get very abstract, so that it just feels wrong matching on, say, (socket:sockets) instead of (x:xs). > > [...] > //Stephan -- Früher hieß es ja: Ich denke, also bin ich.
