Why I like snake_case

I do like snake_case but a lot of this feels a bit circular, effectively just saying that it's good because it's already used by the author's code and things it interacts with.

I'd like kebab-case even more if it weren't for the annoying detail that `-` is also subtraction.

That's why I made the point about consistency mattering more than taste/style here. My personal preference is toward snake_case, but if your own preference is kebab-case, as long as you're consistent, great.

My workaround was a editing a font with a much longer space char and with a 1/3 of a space of left padding on uppercase letters.

The problem is that it looses tabular alignment, so I wrote an IDE plugin for tabularizing some blocks.

Similar to my font, emacs has a plugin that adds a little underscore.
