Why did people even consider using this shitty unreadable method of separating words inside compound identifiers?  Why the fuck is it recommended style for Javascript, Haskell and other half-decent languages?  Why does Python use it in some of its identifiers (but not in all, because it is inconsistent shit)? 

Why won't underscores do (or even real spaces for some languages)?  Makes code much more readable.

By the way C (and, by extension, C++, D, Jewa, C#, Javashit and all other shit languages with syntax derived by C, except Perl) could use real spaces inside identifiers, because using two alphanumeric identifiers next to each other is illegal syntax anyway.

E. g. there is no valid C construction where you can write
foo bar.  It should have some sort of operator or syntactic token between them.

In Perl it is impossible because you can omit parens during function calls (like in Haskell after which Perl was modelled).
