From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Even for indexes I do index or something more specific for what it's indexing. Any simple iteration I just do map or each so the only time I ever need to actually index things is for more complex scenarios in which case it's worth it to have better names. Also with modem IDEs, auto complete is really good so you don't need to write a full variable name more than once.
