Underscore-delimited identifiers are preferred in Ada and Ruby, while they don't seem to be in Java, Objective C, SmallTalk, C# and ECMAScript. (How about Python...?)
i guess i finally identified the original source of studlyCaps: SmallTalk as far as i can tell from the GNU SmallTalk manual underscores are not allowed in SmallTalk identifiers so studlyCaps is the best you can get there ;) ( http://www.gnu.org/software/smalltalk/gst-manual/gst_41.html ) so we all have to use studlyCaps now as the Java class library was created by ex-SmallTalk guys? ;)
A majority of C++ coders appear to be in favour of studlyCaps
AFAIR this was different before the JAVA hype began with studlyCaps being rather rare in C++ code back than ... ? -- Hartmut Holzgraefe <hartmut@php.net>
