Hi!

I would like to ask some kind of permission (I hope that doesn't sound strange) from the people who have influence on the naming conventions in modern languages like F#, Scala, etc.

My problem is - I just can't read camelCased code and wish I could write underscored_names at least in my internal implementations (not in API interface). This applies to just everything - local var names, method names, params.. (Not class names I think)

It seems that now the camel-casing is preferred for example for the names of object methods, but could that be not the only way?

What would you say; Can I go with underscored names in languages like I mentioned (F#, Scala)?
