Some modern languages like Rust give specific recommendations on [naming conventions](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.0.0/style/style/naming/README.html).

It is sort of an unofficial community standard in Solidity to use `camelCase` for function names. Should we officialize this by mentioning in the [Solidity docs](https://docs.soliditylang.org/)?

Do you mean something like this here in the [Style Guide](https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/v0.8.13/style-guide.html#function-names)?

Whops, I missed that. I searched for `camelCase` in the docs, not for `mixedCase`.

Very well then!
