Benefit of _ is that it's more i18n friendly. Some countries use commas for decimals. It's also more visually distinguishable in a terminal since commas looks odd at fixed-width. I'm leaning more obviously towards _ but curious if there's any alternatives or counter examples.

I should have lead the poll with this tweet. I feel like some people would change their responses. The poll probably isn't very constructive since a majority of my followers would be English speakers who use commas.

Also curious about the accessibility of terminals. For people that are blind, how is 123_456_789 and 123,456,789 handled? Some have suggested space separators but that feels far worse since they were be treated as separate words. Anybody know?

Does toLocaleString() do the right thing with Node and terminals? or the equivalent utility in whatever lang. I thought it did?
