German’s more extreme compound words seem like a good linguistic use case for CamelCase.
Comment on To be fair, that's more than two words
hstde@feddit.de 2 months agoSpeaking as a German and a software developer: just because you can, does not mean you should.
Sometimes it is easier and better to not stuff words together and give readers a bad time than to write “Schiffsschraubeneichungsvorgabenverordnungsüberwacher”.

CamelCase
Technically you mean PascalCase - camelCase starts with an uncapitalized letter :)
Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 2 months ago
It would also make sense as the rule is to capitalise the first letter in all nouns

Sorry for replying this late, totally missed it but i like the analogy. But what would be the alternative? Creating a new word for every function?
P. S: Also SchiffsSchraubeenEichungsvorgabenVerordnungsÜberwachung is much more readable: That’s why sir Pascal mounted a camel and created PascalCase and camelCase!

From google translate: “Ship propeller calibration specification regulation supervisor”

An English software developer would write that as,
ShipPropellerCalibrationSpecificationRegulationSupervisorso only the camel case would make a difference heremetaldream@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
Only a Java dev would write that abomination

Not quite, for Java you still need the Factory part at the end!
