Nov 9, 2022 at 3:03 comment added userrandrand @IntroductionToProbability yes but if you use something like x$1 then you might have a conflict with the local variables from Module or Unique. For more information on that see this question
Nov 7, 2022 at 10:07 comment added IntroductionToProbability @userrandrand thanks for pointing that out, I have not thought to use $ in the middle of variable names so that greatly increases the scope for variable names
Nov 5, 2022 at 23:08 comment added userrandrand @IntroductionToProbability I have seen 2 mentions here on stack exchange of people that use $ to separate parts of a name like log$list=Log[list]. So maybe you can use $ to specify that foo$assoc is an association derived from foo.
Aug 4, 2022 at 9:46 comment added IntroductionToProbability How do people handle variable naming for different data types? For example if foo is a Dataset do you have fooA = Normal[foo] and fooV = Values@fooA ? That is what I do sometimes but I think it goes against the "Clean Code" best practice.

Jan 28, 2015 at 14:25 comment added faysou I thought it was an interesting question. If it's too broad so be it, you can delete it ...
Jan 28, 2015 at 14:02 comment added Yves Klett I guess this will be primarily opinion-based... let's see what others think.
