I've always associated Camel Case with Perl. So much so that I assumed the name derived from the Camel Book. But I suppose it's just were I first saw it used extensively.
Anyway this quote from the article sums up my feelings on both Camel Case and Perl.
"is regressive — in fact, medieval"
- salvadors 17y agoActually perlstyle suggests avoiding Camel Case: While short identifiers like $gotit are probably ok, use underscores to separate words in longer identifiers. It is generally easier to read $var_names_like_this than $VarNamesLikeThis, especially for non-native speakers of English.
