Maybe it's just me but the terseness is beautiful. I've been changing my style to be more terse but that makes it more readable or easier to see the abstractio

  > terseness is beautiful. I'd much rather read rect = element.getBoundingClientRect() area = rect.width * rect.height velocity += acceleration * deltaTime position += velocity * deltaTime than r = e.g() a = r.w * r.h v += a * d p += v * d but to each their own. Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook etc all specifically say terseness is not a goal and say to use whole words so naming a function '$' would be explicity against their guidelines. I suspect there's a reason for that. The most obvious is I don't know what 'a' or 'd' or '$' mean without digging through the code but I do know what 'area' or 'detlaTime' or 'getElementById' mean
