    Speaking 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”.

        An English software developer would write that as, ShipPropellerCalibrationSpecificationRegulationSupervisor so only the camel case would make a difference here
