But I still think they make code more readable, kind of Hungarian Notation

Parsing non sigil languages is hard without syntax highlighting. *

And isn't readability part of the Zen(terfold) of Python? ;)

But some things are unfortunately solved in Perl 5.

*) On a side note: I remember having problems with English too, where the same word can sometimes be a verb, adjective and noun, where other languages have grammatical suffices.

Headlines in the English newspapers are still a riddle...

Here is another story about the Hungarian_Notation: http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Hungarian.txt.

Not for the trained brain in a psychological exercise marrying pavlovian psychology and the manchurian candidate for a very specific audience.

> nother story about the Hungarian_Notation:

LOL, interesting read. :)

I earned my fist hacker coins with 68000 Assembler, but I seem to remember our identifiers were allowed to be longer on the Atari-ST.

No wonder no one ever heard of the Mcntsh again. ;-)

Headlines in the English newspapers are still a riddle...

> Newspaper headlines are written in a telegraphic style (headlinese) which often omits the copula creating syntactic ambiguity. […] The name "crash blossoms" was proposed for these ambiguous headlines

I help blind kids!

YOU could help, too!
