So is Apple/Swift, but Apple always gets a smile instead of a smirk here on HN.

    func CMMetadataFormatDescriptionCreateWithMetadataFormatDescriptionAndMetadataSpecifications(
      allocator: CFAllocator?,
      sourceDescription: CMMetadataFormatDescription,
      metadataSpecifications: CFArray,
      formatDescriptionOut: UnsafeMutablePointer<CMMetadataFormatDescription?>
    ) -> OSStatus


Do they? I recall ObjC getting a lot of criticism over their long method names.

But really, who cares? Who the hell types out the whole method in this day and age? Type the first few chars, up arrow, down arrow, tab. Jump around with vi bindings. I have not written a full line of code in well over a decade.

Although Apple deserves it since their IDE really blows compared to say Idea.


Wow. Where did you find that specimen?
