Late to the party, but iterate w/ Chars seems fine too if you're ok w/ no handling -s in the Strings

val camelToKebab: String => String = _.foldLeft("") {
      case (acc, chr) if chr.isUpper => acc :+ '-' :+ chr.toLower
      case (acc, chr)                => acc :+ chr
    }

val camelToSnake : String => String = _.foldLeft( "" ){ (acc, c) =>
    ( c.isUpper, acc.isEmpty, acc.takeRight(1) == "_" ) match {
      case (true, false, false) => acc + "_" + c.toLower
      case (true, _, _) => acc + c.toLower
      case (false, _, _) => acc + c
    }
  }
