Your explanation couldn't be clearer. I now understand why the
underscore doesn't bother me so much even though I'm not such a Heathen
as not to use Emacs:
1) I type on a french keyboard and I don't have to shift to get the
underscore character (only to get most every other useful character fo

Hi all,
I see this started a few days ago, but I just came back from a couple of
weeks of vacation (and a couple of months of being totally buried in
work), so before I go back to the office, I'll at least let you know I'm
still around and even reading the list now and then :-)

I disagree, the analogy is not correct. Comments lie, code shouldn't.
I'm not advocating that we write lots of inline comments, in fact
Jeremias, Kevin,
What's the riposte? Comments lie, especially through entropy. The
compiler takes no notice of any other intention you are encoding in the
name.

I used to use that convention except that someone always forgets to do
it and your back where you started
I know that's probably unpopular but I usually like to reference member
variables like this:
this.currentPageNumber = pageNumber + 1;
That is a bit more to write but I don't particularly like underscores in
names.

Actually I really like to be able to tell members from parameters and
local variables. I tend to use an _ before member variables (eg

pietsch,
Style judgements are a very personal matter. Personal tastes follow.

Hi there
I agree with most of the points you brought up. I've wondered myself in
the last few days if I should dare to make another attempt to bring this
up. The XML project refers to the Sun Coding Conventions for Java style.
But as you will all agree this is not enough. It leaves too much room
Hello,
All I can say is that most of your issues are related to work done by
someone who is not here right now.
For what its worth I agree with you.
