I agree with Pike on this one - and I think it's likely true what he says about being used to reading prose. For those of us who do a lot of non-programming reading, Funny Out-Of-Place Capitals interrupt the smooth flow when reading variable names.
I do_tend_to_use underscores, though - I find that they don't have the semiotic noise value as WeirdCapitals.
- chc 16y agoI find the opposite — underscores are hard to read, but innercaps are almost effortless. At any rate, they're equivalent — you can mechanically transform from one to the other without data loss. I would say that either is preferable to not delimiting your words at all. It sounds to me like you agree with me more than Pike, modulo an insignificant matter of taste.
