On the word ‘camelcase’, about 3 years ago

New Scientist has an article on CamelCase (oh, the irony that Wordie only permits lower-case listings) that notes its original usefulness in making programming terms readable and mentions two derivatives: UpperCamelCase and lowerCamelCase. It also discusses how it’s made the transition to web brandnames as a way of avoiding spaces … and ends on a sinister note by suggesting another programming convention that might be the next to break_free and irritate the_world_at_large.
