Ah yes, an example of Google's long and descriptive identifier names, a lament of which surfaced here recently. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21843180 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21843180)

- esprehn 7y agoWhat's interesting is that Go encourages letter soup while the rest of Google styles encourage long descriptive names. Sometimes I think it was intentionally done to troll the rest of Google that used long_descriptive_names_ with an 80 col limit (Java argued up to 100 but no one else did, not even JS which uses Java's long names). I always thought it was funny walking around the office seeing everyone with their squished and wrapped code on a huge 32in monitor. Lots of the code in google3 looks like haiku squished to the right margin.
