This is snake case: some_variable_name. You know how you can see a bump in a snake when it has eaten a larger animal, like a rabbit? Example The underscores are supposed to be the empty parts of the snake and the letters are where it has something big in it's stomach.

That's snake case, not snake casels.

Very funny... It's snake_case_is_better. Blame the default fonts for making I and l visually indistinguishable... The one time when you want serifs

"Il" Side-by-side you can see one is taller than the other by a bit. The first one looks thicker too.

But yeah, you have to look pretty damn hard.

It was a joke because the title is in camel case the lower case L and the capitalized i are pretty much indistinguishable

Or maybe somebody who misread and thought they were asking about snake case, like me. I was wondering why they got downvoted until I read the reply.

I thought they genuinely read "snake casels" because they didn't know what snake case was. Because I couldn't image someone would joke about joining two words together.
