I prefer the snake_case myself as it5 is more readable. But one of
the best reasons I have come across for always using underscores in
ruby is the ruby is from Japan and Matz has said that snake_case is
much more readable for japanese people to read. That and the fact
that the whole standard library and most ruby code you will come
across uses snake_case so camelCase looks out of place in ruby code.

I’ve another question I’d like to pose the Ruby community. Coming
from a Java background, so I’m rather used to “camelCase” as opposed

what looks to be the standard “ruby_case”.Not trying to incite flame_wars or the like, looking for honest
opinions.
The quote below is just one other person’s opinion, but if you know
what that person has accomplished then perhaps you understand why
that opinion has value:
“I eschew embedded capital letters in names; to my prose_oriented
eyes,
they are too awkward to read comfortably. They jangle like bad
typography.”
