Style Guide: Naming Observable variables with $

[jbalbes]

There is a convention out there to always name variables that are observables with a $ at the end. Is this something that the style guide should take a stance on, and if so, what should it be?

[jbalbes]

Using the language of the style guide, I would put this as a 'consider'. Anyone feel more strongly either way and if so, why?

We do not recommend the $ suffix. It smacks of Hungarian notation. But neither do we wish to prohibit it. A deliberate silence is our course ... for now.

I have nothing against the Hungarian people, but I also loathe Hungarian notation... It reminds me of the super-bad super-old days, when I first learned BASIC in 19xx and had to put $ at the end of string variable names. Never again. :-)
