    I would argue since that is a compound word it is actually much easier to read since you know how the parts are supposed to be spoken. If that makes sense 😅

      Speaking as a German and a software developer: just because you can, does not mean you should.

      Sometimes it is easier and better to not stuff words together and give readers a bad time than to write “Schiffsschraubeneichungsvorgabenverordnungsüberwacher”.

        Schiffsschraubeneichungsvorgabenverordnungsüberwacher

        From google translate: “Ship propeller calibration specification regulation supervisor”

          An English software developer would write that as, ShipPropellerCalibrationSpecificationRegulationSupervisor so only the camel case would make a difference here

          CamelCase

          Technically you mean PascalCase - camelCase starts with an uncapitalized letter :)

          It would also make sense as the rule is to capitalise the first letter in all nouns

        Sorry for replying this late, totally missed it but i like the analogy. But what would be the alternative? Creating a new word for every function?

        P. S: Also SchiffsSchraubeenEichungsvorgabenVerordnungsÜberwachung is much more readable: That’s why sir Pascal mounted a camel and created PascalCase and camelCase! (reading all the other answers I am proud that we collectively came to the same conclusions that it should be PascalCase!)
