These kind of complaints get tiresome, here for some Objective-C fun, https://github.com/Quotation/LongestCocoa

Or Objective-C, https://github.com/Quotation/LongestCocoa Or Smalltalk or C++, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_Patterns Or even C, https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Structured-Analysis-Edward-You... Point being, people like to blame Java, while forgetting history of enterprise architecture.

Enterprise developers and architects would be the same, regardless of the programming language. I am old enough to have seen enterprise C and C++ developers. Where do you think stuff like DCE, CORBA, DCOM has come from? Also many of the things people blame Java for, where born as Smalltalk, Objective-C and C++ frameworks before being re-written in Java. Since we are in a Apple discussion thread, here is some Objective-C ids from Apple frameworks, https://github.com/Quotation/LongestCocoa I also advise getting hold of the original WebObjects documentation in Objective-C, before its port to Java.

I rather see the Objective-C one, https://github.com/Quotation/LongestCocoa

On Objective-C, due to the way the language works, besides ClassFactoryGeneratorFactories, you would need to add all parameter names to the identifier. Here, enjoy https://github.com/Quotation/LongestCocoa There is even a style guide on it, https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Co...

I also disliked unqualified imports. I can never get used to languages where you can 'import foo' or 'use foo' and it just dumps a bunch of symbols into the current scope. That combined with Swift's 'implicit member expressions' makes it difficult to read code outside of an IDE (although I understand why they made that tradeoff given some of the long identifiers Swift inherited) [1].

When I interviewed at Google I was making iOS apps using Objective-C at my current job, so I decided to stick with that for the whiteboard so I wouldn't blank out on some syntax at an inopportune time. Big mistake. The method names get so long I was kept running out of space on the whiteboard and it took forever to write it. I don't remember exactly what I wrote anymore (it was over a decade ago), but this site[1] has some examples of really long property and method names in Cocoa (its framework), like: splitViewControllerPreferredInterfaceOrientationForPresentation or initWithBitmapDataPlanes:pixelsWide:pixelsHigh:bitsPerSample:samplesPerPixel:hasAlpha:isPlanar:colorSpaceName:bitmapFormat:bytesPerRow:bitsPerPixel: Anyway, for that and other reasons I didn't get the job (I apparently didn't prepare quite the right things, despite preparin

Here are some more from iOS SDK Longest Objective-C Method Name: initWithEnableFan:enableAirConditioner:enableClimateControl:enableAutoMode:airCirculationMode:fanSpeedIndex:fanSpeedPercentage:relativeFanSpeedSetting:temperature:relativeTemperatureSetting:climateZone: Longest C function name: CMMetadataFormatDescriptionCreateWithMetadataFormatDescriptionAndMetadataSpecifications Longest Enum Constant Name: kCMBufferQueueTrigger_WhenDurationBecomesGreaterThanOrEqualToAndBufferCountBecomesGreaterThan Source: https://github.com/Quotation/LongestCocoa

So, Apple is a German company (https://github.com/Quotation/LongestCocoa)? (I like long names, but also think this can be overdone)

If you've got a developer with previous Objective-C/Cocoa/iOS experience they'll be used to having crazy long method / variable names. You can find a list of examples here: https://github.com/Quotation/LongestCocoa Edit: I just had to quote the longest one: "outputImageProviderFromBufferWithPixelFormat:pixelsWide:pixelsHigh:baseAddress:bytesPerRow:releaseCallback:releaseContext:colorSpace:shouldColorMatch:"
