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.

It is good practice to use the style which the standard library uses in your programs (if it follows any sort of consistent style, i. e. not PHP or Perl, as their libs all use a multitude of styles; Python has inconsistent standard library as well, but it is greatly alleviated by the popular PEP-8).

However, why would any language designer conscientiously choose the worst possible style for his new (or even not yet written) standard library?
