shittyCase

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.

if
     int pos;
     char in string(c, pos, "0123456789ABCDEF"[@0]) orel
     char in string(c, pos, "abcdef"[@10])
then
     pos
else
     -1
fi
Algol 68 uses spaces in identifiers. char in string are three bold symbols (a type, a keyword, and a type), but char in string is a single identifier (a standard library procedure).
