Beats me. So this is something that hasn't gotten any better for you over time? You should look at old school DSP code some time. :) Some of that is translating from variable names in mathematics papers. Also - for us old guys, you could take typing or you could take a math class, so many of us never really learned to type properly. So typing can be an actual consideration. Schools adapted to this later.

> You should look at old school DSP code some time. :) Some of that is translating from variable names in mathematics papers. I feel that is sort of a valid exception. If it is common notation in the field you need to be familiar with anyways or you are implementing from a specific source, not using short names adds another layer of mental translation. If I'm implementing an algorithm from a paper I put an "implementation based on: <citation/URL>" on top and try to match it as closely as possible. (DSP code probably doesn't do the latter, because performance, but where possible)
