A variable in a programming language is sait to be camelCased when
all words but the first are capitalized. This practice contrasts with
the C tradition of either running syllables together or marking
syllable breaks with underscores; thus, where a C programmer would
write thisverylongname or this_very_long_name, the camelCased version
would be thisVeryLongName. This practice is common in certain
language communities (formerly Pascal; today Java and Visual Basic)
and tends to be associated with object-oriented programming.
Compare {BiCapitalization}; but where that practice is primarily
associated with marketing, camelCasing is not aimed at impressing
anybody, and hackers consider it respectable.
