My fingers hate snake_case unless I'm in an IDE with working auto complete, and even then the repeated "shift-minus" when defining variables/functions is just hell on my typing speed. I don't have to remap my keyboard to avoid RSI when using camelCase, and I also don't have to switch keyboard apps on my phone when typing code examples.
I totally understand the preference, as using snake_case has grown on me. But, when you jump between many languages (with different case usage), you kind of have to be agnostic about such things.
Never use kebab-case. Not even where you can (e.g. filenames). Sooner or later you're going to want that name as an identifier in a programming language that doesn't support it (approximately all of them), and then you're going to have to come up with annoying rules to convert between them, and make all the code that uses it harder to follow and to grep.
Generally, kebab-case means that operators must be separated by spaces. Languages like FORTH or LISP might not even treat operators as separate from ordinary functions.
Not with a parsing expression grammar! They make it easy to say that operators must be separated by spaces only when the alternative would be a valid identifier, and if you disallow trailing hyphens this matches most cases:
a-variable; a-1, a-(expr()), 1-a-variable (don't do this)
I think the last one illustrates why this will never be popular.
It seems like a small bike-shed level comment, but when I consider the code I have left in me, I'd like it to look as nice as possible.
