FFS, it's on the same line of code. The variable is live for a single expression. This is style wankery at its absolute worst.

    > most functions are longer Irrelevant. This function is painfully short. > small functions can grow It's a microlambda passed to a map function. 99% of these will never grow past a single expression. Hell, 95% of these will never even be modified. > consistency is better What, exactly, is this inconsistent with? > you should read the HN guidelines There's a difference between being uncivil and expressing frustration frankly.

Other functions. > expressing frustration frankly. Calling someone a wanker isn't exactly a pinnacle of expression.
