The only other possibility that I can think of is that C programmers dislike excessive typing

That's true.

Is this the reason why, or is there a technical constraint on method name length?

Well, the linker deals also with function (methods have no place in C programmer's mind) names.


Another reason maybe historical: when the C library was firstly developed, Microsoft wasn't around... (More seriously there wasn't a plethora of functions to remember and low risk of name collisions, so, I suppose, using short names was reasonable).


BTW: C library functions have too long names for Klingon Developers.

This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong.
