OK, but i personally never meet a programmer complaining about this, so i suppose that most people get used to underscore in a short period.Are you serious?
I hope he is - I find things with underbars in them unreadable in the extreme - the under_bar pulls the eye down by pretending to be some kind of weird descender or something and makes things difficult to read.
(And, as i said, underscores are easy to display or print as spaces, althrough i personally won't do that).
On the other hand, you will always need some effort to understand identifiers without spaces, and I think this is a much bigger problem.
But maybe do we both just fell confortable with what we are used to read?
So i suggest a simple experiment : let's compare the average speed to read some short story
1 - with all blanks removed,
2 - with all blanks replaced with _,
by two groups of peoples with no programming background.
Anyone willing to bet with me on the result? :-) I personally bet the second group will be 30% faster!
