"Underscores require me to hit the Shift key. When writing prose, I only hit the shift once or twice per sentence. In Ruby, I have to hit the shift key every few letters. Awkward. Inefficient."
There are languages that survive in spite of the heavy use of uppercase letters, without useless complains like this.
Let me repeat, in German:
"Es gibt Sprachen die trotz starker Nutzung von Grossbuchstaben ueberleben, ohne ueberfluessige Beschwerden wie diese."
Damn, I just broke my pinky..

Awkward. Inefficient." That passage sticks out to me as well. Especially the "Awkward. Inefficient" part. Maybe the guy needs to learn how to type, because hitting shift for me is muscle memory that requires no thinking. That Grade 9 typing class in 1984 just continues to pay dividends for me.
