Haha - this is a great change. I wonder y someone decided on 'kitten' and stuck with foo as the variable name :D

I'm less keen on this change. If we're not replacing 'foo' with something meaningful & realisitic, I think foo, bar, baz is actually preferable to 'a','b','c'. More people will realise it's an explicit 'name does not matter' placeholder.

Oh, that was the exact reason in my head to make it abc.
Because of this comment: #261 (comment)
foo and bar are specially confusing for non english speakers (like me) because we can't translate/understand these words
foo, bar, etc. might seem like they're supposed to make sense. abc are alphabets as placeholder 😅

Looks great, thanks! Would it be possible to take a look at the comments and make another PR too? |
