I think this boils down entirely to how comfortable the reader is with the concepts involved. If you have to stop and think for a sec about what "memory_write" actually does, the spelled-out words are a useful prompt and the time it takes to read them is not a bottleneck. But if you're used to thinking at level of abstraction, used to tossing the concepts around in your head like mathematical symbols - then the shorter version is preferable and the longer one feels boggy and pedantic. This is why regex is a thing and why people skilled in APL rave about it so much, and why nobody ever bothers to symlink rm, cp, and mv to remove, copy, and move respectively.
