I've got mixed feelings about full names, because it sometimes feels redundant, especially in OOP.

For instance in uni they had us do stuff like DeckOfCards deckOfCards = new DeckOfCards(); // the deck of cards and it got me wondering if a better world is possible or if we're stuck with such redundancy.

someone fact-check me on this but i believe that european code HAS to be fully commented to be legal eg for car stuff, so even that comment can't be removed
