> Even if this leads to humourously Java-esque code, it's worth it
Some people seem to get mad about the verbose naming common in Java - but it’s one of the biggest blessings I’ve ever experienced. If you name things after what they do, and that name is stupid, then it’s the quickest indicator of bad design I’ve ever seen. Good design is where every name is patently obvious and encompasses the entire purpose of the class / record / method / whatever.
