I was today years old when I learned the term "kebab case"

#programming #case #naming #camelcase #snakecase #kebabcase #variables #developers #tech

#TIL that #SnakeCase is a less frequently used tagging scheme on the #fediverse.

This could be due to that some services break their internal tagging schema, e.g. #Minds doesn't work well with #KebabCase.

Or it could be due to the laziness of the users and subjectively arguing that #snake_case doesn't add to the readability of #PascalCase or #camelCase tags.

In return the argument is that snake_case can add value if the tag has a not obvious word break, especially if the tag is completely written in lowercase or UPPERCASE.

Or if the the underscore replaces a different character other than space like slash, pipe, hyphen, etc.

And in AReallyLongTag / a_really_long_tag it could aid readability.

Thus if one wants grouping and discoverability of posts while creating a brand identity consider using snake_case tags.
