I just was thinking: C++, Java, SuperCollider, Python, SmallTalk, processing, etc. all use studlyCaps as the standard for object and method names rather than the GNU C under_score_object_names or the Max/Pd-style runeverythingtogether (natural for German and Thai speakers, but not most languages AFAIK).
i think its called camelCase in some circles. no idea why, as i can't read Arabic..
Ruby uses underscores in methodnames and CamelCase in classnames.
Most LISPs and Schemes use dashes.
Most of the C/POSIX API does alltogetherwordsclumping, often without vowels.
C/POSIX uses a lot of arbitrary abbreviations and is not something to emulate, in my book.
arbitrary-abbreviation with whole word: fnmatch first 3 consonants: strcmp, strcpy whole word with truncate: opendir, readdir, closedir

pd symbols can have spaces, so do we even need underscores? i find eather solution incongruous and not idiomatic with pd
If we switch to unicode then we can use *smileys* instead of spaces or underscores. That'll make all Pd users much happier.
