Precisely what I expected. Lisp uses-dashes-instead and I don't see that any harder to read_than_underlines.
I do find CamelCaseToBeCrowded, but in context, it is just fine.
It's nearly always a religious argument, but one could build a simple hierarchy by allowing them to be used together, as long as they are consistent.
- lispm 5y agoCamelCaseToBeCrowded might not work in many Lisp dialects, since symbols may get case converted by the Lisp reader functions. In Common Lisp all symbols get upcased by default and one would have to escape a mixed-case symbol: |CamelCaseToBeCrowded| would preserve the case. Btw., |Camel Case To Be Crowded| would also be a legal identifier. Alternative: change the reader conversion mode.
- ksaj 5y agoAh yes, multiple escape. I'm somewhat surprised you can't (setq *print-case* :camelcase), but I wouldn't ever use it anyway.
