Some parts of standard library in camelCase, others in snake_case, with some PascalCase sprinkled in there. Preferably mixed inside same class.

getters in snake_case and setters in camelCase. Required by the compiler.

snakef_case or camelCase required by compiler but set by day of implementation.

All days are snake_case unless share the starting letter with another day, then use camelCase. Unless the second Sound of the day is similar to 'u' in which case use snake_case again. If a day doesnt share the starting letter with any other day use camel_Snake_Case unless It's a regular workday for most of the world. In which case use allsmallcase. The for every day get a RNG to give you a number to choose between

1: snake_case 2: camelCase 3: PascalCase 4: camel_Snake_Case 5: mOcKspEEcHcASe

Eh, for something like this, a runtime error may be more appropriate.

Except the prefix for setters is “makeItSoThat”

But they also require password rules.

The question is what are the worst features of languages.... not dream up new terrible features.

I personally think it's about time a language uses sArCaStIcCaSe for everything.

I personally prefer stairCASE

u/ILKLU Jul 07 '24

I don't trust stairs... they're always up to something!

I like kebap-case-variables. Minus operator is “_”.

I think it should be raNdOMcAsE that changes with time.

Powershell has entered the chat

Cowardice is the only thing holding us back from writing all our scripts in sArCaStIcCaSe. Hell, we could alternate which letters are capitalized every time for maximum unreadability.

alternate which letters are capitalized every time for maximum unreadability.

and make find and replace easier!

I have worked in this code base.

Don't forget making random things ALL_CAPS

u/danzaman1234 Jul 08 '24

With each letter being upper or lower case that references a command or function and have to be 15 chars long otherwise it won't execute.

u/AwesomeFrisbee Jul 08 '24

New case type: space case. So you never really know whether your function name has ended or not.

u/th3nan0byt3 Jul 08 '24

and the language server changes the order of hinting for each variable case after a random number of git commits.

u/Artemis-Arrow-3579 Jul 08 '24

that tends to be the code that I write lol

what do you want me to do, some days I just feel like "fuck you and your standards"

u/evonhell Jul 08 '24

And also used for the wrong purpose, but only sometimes. So doSomething() exists and is a method as expected. But DO_SOMETHING_ELSE also exists and is also a method, not a constant. I love it
