I would argue since that is a compound word it is actually much easier to read since you know how the parts are supposed to be spoken. If that makes sense 😅

Speaking as a German and a software developer: just because you can, does not mean you should.

Sometimes it is easier and better to not stuff words together and give readers a bad time than to write "Schiffsschraubeneichungsvorgabenverordnungsüberwacher".

Schiffsschraubeneichungsvorgabenverordnungsüberwacher

From google translate: "Ship propeller calibration specification regulation supervisor"

[-] georgette@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

An English software developer would write that as, ShipPropellerCalibrationSpecificationRegulationSupervisor so only the camel case would make a difference here

[-] metaldream@sopuli.xyz 6 points 7 months ago

Only a Java dev would write that abomination

[-] reinei@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Not quite, for Java you still need the Factory part at the end!

[-] Magnetar@feddit.de 3 points 7 months ago

I hope it implements the ShipPropellerCalibrationSpecificationRegulationSupervisorFactoryInterface

[-] lengau@midwest.social 10 points 7 months ago

German's more extreme compound words seem like a good linguistic use case for CamelCase.

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 9 points 7 months ago

CamelCase

Technically you mean PascalCase - camelCase starts with an uncapitalized letter :)

[-] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 1 points 7 months ago

It would also make sense as the rule is to capitalise the first letter in all nouns

Sorry for replying this late, totally missed it but i like the analogy. But what would be the alternative? Creating a new word for every function?

P. S: Also SchiffsSchraubeenEichungsvorgabenVerordnungsÜberwachung is much more readable: That's why sir Pascal mounted a camel and created PascalCase and camelCase! (reading all the other answers I am proud that we collectively came to the same conclusions that it should be PascalCase!)
