Those perfect radians use 2*pi, aka tau, though, a different math notation issue, where mathematicians have chosen the wrong option (imho) and a case for disrupting that part of math notation, to make radians easier to teach: 1/4th of a circle could be tau/4 radians, 1/8th could be tau/8, etc..., instead of confusing halved factors with radians expressed as amount of pi.
Regarding long variable names: I'd rather have long variable names, than a mathematician using some greek symbol in formulas without telling what the meaning of it is (and it could be different depending on their background). But I have no issues with the single letter variables if they're specified properly.
