CamelCase naming convention

Do I see a contradiction here? It makes your stomach churn for no other reason than typing, and then you say you find camel casing more aesthetically pleasing? Anyway, I can't argue with the "aesthetically pleasing" part, but it is equally hard to type.

But of course! This is all completely subjective, except for the fact that I'm right and you're wrong, VIM sucks, and using the underscore as you're proposing will undoubtedly lead to the end of the Union, and a take over of the State by leftist-grave-robbing-breast-feeding-thumb-sucking-whiner-socialists.

As you have to press Shift to get an underscore, I'd say about the same.
Exactly - which is why I said that underscores are easy to read but hard to write.
underscores overstretch my right little finger though and i wouldn't want to get RSI from continually typing underscores or hyphens

See - you got it all wrong - I am not proposing using the underscore, but switching to Lisp.

OK sir, this is getting personal now. You can have an opinion on camel casing, but don't bad mouth The Editor.

Why most programmers (at least Windows and Java programmers) use this horrible notation? It is both hard to write and hard to read:
GetMyPreciousDataFromAnXMLFile()
With undrescores it is at least easy to read if not to write:
get_my_precious_data_from_an_XML_file()
And of course, there is always a way to make it easy to write but hard to read:
getmypreciousdatafromanXMLfile()
Lispers have the best of both worlds (well, except for the parentheses):
(get-my-precious-data-from-an-XML-file)
I feel better now - feel free to vote me down :)
Nemanja Trifunovic wrote:
GetMyPreciousDataFromAnXMLFile()
I find this to be quite readable.
Nemanja Trifunovic wrote:
get_my_precious_data_from_an_XML_file()
On the other hand, this I find to be ugly and slightly harder to read. My brain is auto-wired to recognize a new word when it sees an upper case letter, but with an underscore not so much.

What is all this camel case, pascal case, underscores. I don't need any of them if keep my variables to 6 characters (1 character is preferred). ;P p.s. see my signature

I was wondering how many other people even knew that. Even C# and Java still allow GOTOs, so the statement is still true.:cool:

You are really cunning. :laugh: That's not a camel, that's a snake with a big ass. A real camel would look something like this:

This is known as Pascal-case. Camel case version would have a small "g" at the beginning. Take off smart-ass hat
