I would bet that you've never done anything in LaTeX3, have you?

I agree that for high-level, general-purpose languages, HN is rarely
a good idea.  (Though some variants, like consistent naming schemes -
like Emacs' convention for variables ending in ‘-function’ or ‘-hook’ -
are fine, aren’t they?)

For a fairly low-level thing like TeX, in which the same thing can be
represented in a few ways (like “\foo” versus “foo”, which is a bit like
the symbol/string difference in Lisp), you would perish without it.

Best,
