I've tried Whitney's style and got some good takeaways from it. I don't need that level of density, but it made me realize that when the code is already doing something very abstracted from business logic, there is no sense in trying to name the variables with more than one or two letters. (x0 and x1, appearing in geometric functions, are favorites of mine.)

I also started using "result" after seeing it in Pascal code and have quite liked it for many years, but I just had the epiphany that "ans" (answer, as seen on several graphing calculator lines) would be a little more dense.

Basically, it was well worth it to try these radical styles out. They did a lot to smooth my everyday coding.
