Yes, I agree! I was specifically addressing the parent comment's line about "I use a terse programming style." When it comes to functional programmers, they (more than any other group) will take terseness to the extreme in the form of single-letter variable names in inner functions, match forms, etc.
I didn't mean for my comment to be entirely literal, either. Rather, I just meant to say that terseness can impede readability for those who are not yet familiar with the codebase. (But I have personally been on the receiving end of onboarding into a codebase full of literal single-character names, which I found incredibly frustrating.)
