Clojure developers also often make use of single-letter variable names, following conventions in `clojure.core`: https://guide.clojure.style/#idiomatic-names https://guide.clojure.style/#idiomatic-names My rule of thumb is to only use short names in the local scope of a function and have them follow conventions within the language community. Constrained like this, I see no harm in using them, since their meaning is clear within the context of their usage and there is usually no need to search for them. Of course, if the variable has a more specific meaning, I choose a more specific name.
