Looking back at some Dylan code again now, I still find its richer, Lisp-derived, hyphenated naming approach more readable-and-expressive than either camelCase or underscore_separated identifiers.

When Dylan switched from Lisp syntax this was something that was fretted over an awful lot, for obvious reasons, but we went with it and it worked fine.

I'd love to see some other algebraic (non Lisp) syntax language get more creative in this direction again one day.
