It's true that Hungarian has gone out of fashion and never was part of
the dynamic scene, but naming function _arguments_ in a clear
conventional way does make life easier for the user who has to
understand that function.

function fun(sName,nAge,lChildren)

where s means 'string', n means 'number', l means 'list' (in the sense
of an array-like table). And so forth.

Using explicitly named types wherever possible is also helpful:

And then, if our named 'struct' was Fred, then aFred makes perfect sense.
