snake_case convention for naming files and folders¶

The Anoma Specification uses the snake case convention for naming files and folders.

Guidelines¶

• Use lowercase letters.
• Separate words with underscores _, instead of dashes - or camel case.
• No special characters or spaces.

Pros¶

• Readability: Improves readability by clearly separating words in names, making code more understandable.
• Consistency: Creates a uniform naming style throughout the codebase.
• Compatibility: Widely supported across different programming languages and platforms, no issues with case sensitivity.

Cons¶

• Length: Can make names longer.
• Visual Clutter: The underscores can create visual clutter, especially in longer names. We suffer from this, specially in engine's description files.
