Subject: Re: They say I write Ruby like Perl

I'd be interested to know *why* it is a language convention, and more
important why it is a lanaguage convention that from this thread it
seems rubyists vigorously insist upon?  For those of us who were
"raised" with a language like Java (or as some on this list may say,
brain damaged ;-), lowerCamelCase seems more pleasing to the eye than
identifiers_with_underscores.
