Re:Why study functional programming? (2012) by Jtsummers on Tuesday August 02, 2022 @03:11PM (#32323011)
Giving me flashbacks to inherited codebases from old-school FORTRAN coders...

  // 500 variables shared by everything
  main loop
    "task" 1
    "task" 2
    "task" 3
    ...
    "task" n
So t121 is now supposed to only be used by task 3, but "t" as a prefix means it is temp. However, we don't want to change all the references. So just don't use it everyone else, please?
